Erik Gustafsson: Reportedly Heading To KHL
DFree Agent
May 16, 2014
Gustafsson will play in the KHL next season, leaving the Flyers with a hole to fill in the defensive rotation, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Sam Carchidi reports.
ANALYSIS
He led the Flyers' defensemen in plus-minus rating in limited ice time this past season, and the team was 16-11-4 with him in the lineup. As a free agent, he will opt to play in Russia for the 2014-15 season, but the Flyers will retain his rights should he decide to return to the NHL at some point.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2013
2012
2011
Gustafsson's eight points were good enough for third-best among Flyers defensemen last season. He's likely cemented his spot in the Flyers' third pairing, and could add value in some deeper leagues.
Gustaffson saw some time with the Flyers last season but he posted the second-most points among Adirondack (AHL) defensemen with a solid 17 in 28 games. He managed five points in 30 contests with the Flyers last year and will look to improve on those numbers this season. Expect him to bounce around between the AHL and NHL for the majority of this campaign, but he does have some offensive upside; those in deep keeper leagues should take note of Gustafsson's role within the Philadelphia organization.
Gustafsson appeared in just three games for the Flyers a season ago, but figures to be in the NHL mix this year. He's a solid distributor and figures to be an everyday player in the near future, though he could end up bouncing between the professional ranks this season.
