REPORT: Carter Hart Is Linked To Multiple Teams

In a great move by the Philadelphia Flyers organization, the team picked up three new faces and a couple solid draft picks. Those players being Cal Peterson (Goalie), Sean Walker (D), Helge Grans (D).

Now amoxited all the craziness, rumours sparked that the Flyers could be moving Carter Hart. Which is expected, as Hart has been apart of trade talks a lot already this offseason. But never to this extent, as the trade talks have gone pretty deep with some teams. Such as the Los Angeles Kings being one of them, but they are no out of the picture. Among the Kings, the Oilers, Blue Jackets, and Canadiens are a few of many teams interested in Carter Hart.

The list below shows all the teams that have sparked interest in the 24-year-old netminder.

Now, some of these teams make more since then others. Like the Edmonton Oilers are a huge possibility, due to Carter Hart being from Sherwood Park and having a deep friendship with Stuart Skinner since he was 14-years-old. The Edmonton Oilers, unlike the Philadelphia Flyers would have the money to pay Carter Hart. With $5,970,000 million in cap to work with, plus the available deadline cap space of $27,760,500 million. The Edmonton Oilers may have to retain some of Jack Campbell's contract though, which is to be expected. The Oilers also could be trading Cody Ceci, so the Flyers could acquire him apart of a deal. A trade that could be considered would be the Flyers receiving:

Cody Ceci, Jack Campbell (50% Retained), 2023 2nd Round Pick (EDM), 2024 1st Round Pick (EDM) 2025 1st Round Pick (EDM). As Edmonton receives a franchise goaltender in Carter Hart.

Two other Canadian teams seem to be very interested in the young goaltender, those two being the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens. The Canadiens of course being the team the Flyers eliminated in the 2019-20 Stanley Cup Playoffs, where Carter Hart was rock solid in his first and only playoff appearance.
As for the Toronto Maple Leafs they could take a few different approaches in acquiring Carter Hart.

The Philadelphia Flyers could get Matt Murray or even Ilya Samsonov in return for Carter Hart, but I'm not quite sure that's what the organization would be looking for. The Flyers desperately need left wingers, which the team lacks, having a lot of right wingers and centers. A probable return would have to involve the Leafs No. 28 pick in this years draft, Nick Robertson or Matthew Knies, who are both very promising young LW prospects, as well Fraser Minton, a young center prospect, could also be in the mix.

Or another option would be No. 28 draft pick this year and Matthew Knies, leaving out the rest. Yet, a lot of Leafs fans hate the idea of giving up Knies. The main consensus seems to be that Leafs fans believe the young prospect should be seen as untouchable.

Now, these replies of course are in response to a mock trade tweeted out with Carter Hart and Matthew Knies being dealt.

If Carter Hart is moved either this summer or at the NHL Draft, there should be no reason why the Philadelphia Flyers don't land a solid haul for him. He is a 24-year-old franchise goaltender in which his stats don't tell the whole story, Hart can only do so much with the team in front of him.

Hopefully the Flyers and Danny Briere can turn this ship around and keep Hart between the pipes, but he may be shipped out.
