Carter Hart reportedly on the trading block as Flyers rebuild begins
The Philadelphia Flyers' firing of GM Chuck Fletcher last Friday was the beginning of the significant changes that will be happening with this organization through the coming months.
On Monday, National Hockey League insider Elliotte Friedman shared his thoughts on the developing situation in Philadelphia and it was during those discussions that he dropped a bombshell regarding Flyers goaltender Carter Hart. Friedman indicated that he believes Hart will be available.
As the Flyers move towards what looks to be a complete tear down and/or rebuild of their current roster, it sounds very much like Hart is not expected to be a part of the process. This is what Friedman's co-host on the podcast had to say about Hart on Saturday night:
The play of the 23 year old Swedish native has left a positive impression on management and has made them think of the possibility of moving the longtime starter.
Drafted 48th overall in 2016, Hart as a year remaining on his contract with an average annual value of $3.9 million. He has appeared in 194 regular season games, with a 2.97 goals against average and a .905 save percentage.
New Interim GM Daniel Briere told reporters his club needs a multi-year rebuild and Hart could be the first big name to be shipped out to start collecting those assets.
