He had a Corsi for 56.4 and a relative Corsi of 14.0.<\/p>\n<p>The veteran puck-moving defenceman has 97 goals and 270 assists for 367 points in 619 career games. Philadelphia originally draft him in the third round, 78th overall of the 2012 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>Gostisbehere is a former NCAA national champion as he helped lead Union College to its only Division I national title in the 2014 tournament. He was named the NCAA Division I tournament&#8217;s most outstanding player for leading the then-Dutchmen to the collegiate crown.<\/p>\n<p>His pre-NHL career also yielded a gold medal at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championships with Team USA. The defenceman was also on Team North America at the 2015 World Cup of Hockey.<\/p>\n<h3>What It Means<\/h3>\n<p>Gostisbehere was able to be a solid contributor for a Red Wings team that narrowly missed out on the post-season. The blueliner was able to provide some veteran leadership to a young defensive group still trying to find its way.<\/p>\n<p>He can provide some offence from the blueline and might be able to do that in the upcoming season. When healthy, he&#8217;s been able to put up double-digit goals a number of times in his career.
