Carter Hart Officially Acquitted and Now Linked to Shocking NHL Return with New Team
It's now official: Carter Hart has been acquitted in the case involving the 2018 Canadian World Junior team and can now freely resume his activities. Meanwhile, rumors are swirling rapidly about him, and his new destination might already be known.
Carter Hart had been the only player from the Canadian team to agree to testify on the witness stand, and he had been very cooperative throughout the proceedings.
A 2nd-round pick, 48th overall, in the 2016 NHL Draft, he was seen as one of the most promising young goalies, and the Philadelphia Flyers had extremely high expectations when they selected him.
General Manager Daniel Brière's team ultimately decided not to extend him a qualifying offer at the end of his final contract in 2023-24, and this whole situation was unfortunately very difficult for the Flyers, as they suddenly lost their goalie of the future without getting anything in return.
They have since turned to Samuel Ersson and Ivan Fedotov, two late-round picks by the organization in recent years whose potential is nowhere near that of Carter Hart.
Carter Hart has been acquitted and could join the Edmonton Oilers in the coming hours
The rumor mill is running at full speed since the announcements surrounding the 2018 Team Canada case, and Hart is undoubtedly at the center of most of the discussions.
Hockey fans are all wondering which uniform the goaltender will be wearing next season, and one team is clearly leading the pack according to many: the Edmonton Oilers.
It's obvious that captain Connor McDavid's squad desperately needs a talented goaltender after losing in the Stanley Cup Final for the second time.
A lot is likely to happen in the coming days. Do you think he'll be wearing an Oilers uniform in 2025-26?
