Carter Hart's name has stirred rumors this offseason, given the Philadelphia Flyers' commitment to a full-scale rebuild. Hart, with his immense trade value, has become a hot topic in the NHL. One scenario generating considerable interest is the possibility of him reuniting with former teammate Stuart Skinner in Edmonton.
Skinner's words on Hart from last season:
"He got the best of me last game, so hopefully it's the other way tonight," Skinner said with a laugh. He's a hard worker, he's a great player. He's mentally strong and he's very motivated. He's somebody who you hang out with, you get inspired. It's nice that we are friends because it keeps things a little lighter, Skinner said of the local rivalry. It was awesome to watch him at the NHL level and that also gives you motivation to know that I can play at his level, which means that I can play in the NHL too. And fate had it that we're both here now and I get to play against him tonight."
The Philadelphia Flyers' strategic shift toward a comprehensive rebuild has made Hart an attractive trade asset. Several teams, including the Edmonton Oilers, are keeping a close eye on the talented netminder as a potential solution to their goaltending needs.
