The Flyers are running out of places to trade Carter Hart, while the Devils are reportedly looking to give Akira Schmid a full year in the AHL. Carter Hart could be a cost-effective contingency plan for New Jersey.
The 2023 NHL offseason has been full of surprises, and the Philadelphia Flyers have yet to manage to find new homes for all of their trade chips. Carter Hart, Travis Sanheim, Travis Konecny, Scott Laughton, and Tony DeAngelo have all remained Flyers players post-NHL draft and halfway through July. While the Flyers failed to have a trade for Carter Hart materialize, teams like the Pittsburgh Penguins, Ottawa Senators, and Los Angeles Kings all shored up their goaltending situations already.
