Breaking: Insider reveals details of Gostisbehere contract and it's huge!

The Philadelphia Flyers tried to keep it a secret, and it lasted all of a few minutes.

In a very unsurprising move, insiders have already managed to dig up the details of the new contract signed by star defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, and it is indeed a big one. 

According to TSN insider Pierre LeBrun, the contract signed by the Flyers and Gostisbehere earlier today is a 6-year-deal and one that carries an average annual value of $4.5 million dollars. That means that 24-year-old Shayne Gostisbehere will earn a whopping $27 million dollars over the course of the next 6 years of his NHL career. 

Given how strong Gostisbehere has been on the blue in his first two seasons, this appears to be a case where a player traded some early security for what could have been potentially more money down the road. Definitely a solid deal as far as the Flyers are concerned, and likely one that Gostisbehere feels very good about as well.
