The rumor mill is a dangerous place when there isn't much hockey being played. While the prospects are in the middle of their showcases around the league, it makes the smallest news feel significant. When a report slid across everyone's Twitter timeline on Sunday afternoon involving Carter Hart and the Carolina Hurricanes, it led to an avalanche of responses.
It's common knowledge at this point that Hart was one of the five players accused in the Hockey Canada case that took the hockey community by storm over the last few years. All five players from the 2018 Canadian World Juniors team were acquitted of all charges on July 24th in an Ontario court.
