The Detroit Red Wings did not re-sign defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere after the 2023-24 NHL season in which he skated in 81 games, scoring 10 goals while adding 46 assists. 

In Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final, Carolina's second straight trip to the NHL's Final Four, he registered his first goal of the playoffs as part of a 3-2 OT Canes win.

How much different would Detroit's fortunes had been had they kept the offensive-minded defenseman?
