Daniel Briere To Consider Trading Carter Hart

May 28, 2023 at 11:41 am CDT | by Brennan McClain 26 Comments

The new General Manager of the Philadelphia Flyers, Daniel Briere, has acknowledged the possibility that goaltender Carter Hart may be on the move this summer. In a post from Philadelphia Hockey Now, Chuck Bausman reports the quote, where Briere said, “Most likely, Carter will be our goalie for the future, but I’m not in a position to turn down anything, I have to listen.”

After becoming the interim General Manager for the Flyers in March, Briere quickly acknowledged that Philadelphia was headed toward a rebuild. Failing to make the playoffs the last three seasons, Briere will be looking to change up his roster starting this summer.

In all likelihood, Hart will remain the Flyers’ goaltender of the future, but putting out the possibility of a trade to the public should raise some eyebrows. At still only 24 years old, and with Hart only becoming a restricted free agent at the conclusion of his current contract, Hart should be considered a building block in Philadelphia’s rebuilding efforts.

Aside from a disastrous 2020-21 season, Hart has shown to be a quality goaltender in the NHL. This past season, Hart started in 54 games, holding a record of 22-23-10, and posting a .907 SV% and a 2.94 GAA. Especially considering that the Flyers finished 23rd in the league in GA/G, Hart’s production added some much-needed stability to a lineup that his wholly lacking in that department.

If Philadelphia does end up moving on from Hart, factoring in his age, his performance, and the flexibility provided in his contract, there should be plenty of suitors for his services. For context, although not holding two above-average goaltenders like the 2012-13 Vancouver Canucks, the Canucks were able to trade Cory Schneider at the 2013 NHL Draft for the ninth overall pick, which would go on to become Bo Horvat.

Schneider did hold a longer string of success compared to Hart, but considering that Hart is three years younger compared to when Schneider was traded, and they hold similar contracts, the Flyers could conceivably receive a large haul for Hart.

    Gonna need more than a single 1st for Hart unless said 1st is top 2 this year.

      So you are saying Hart is worth #1 or #2 overall?

      You may grossly overvalue Hart. Roy, Hasek, and Luongo didn’t fetch multiple 1sts and they were all far superior to Hart.

      He’s worth more than a flier in a mid-1st round pick and nothing else.

      I think a mid first and maybe a 3/4 is the most the flyers should expect.

    maybe Edmonton might look into him. he’s from Edmonton. I’m not sure if Stuart Skinner is a long-term answer there. he did have a nice season but I do think Carter hart is it better goalie

      Skinner has a better contract and his stats say he is the better goalie. Skinner stumbled in the playoffs but at least he carried his team to the playoffs, unlike Hart.

      I like the idea but I can’t imagine what the oilers could offer to make it work

      I think a certain #97 and #29 carried the team to the playoffs.

      skinner is good and I’m not sure if I’d rather have him or Hart long-term, but you can’t compare the two goalies by playoff appearances with those rosters.

      I feel like if Briere was going to move Hart that it would be for a first in this years draft. Most of the teams if not all of the teams picking in the top 10 are rebuilding and need their pick more than Hart as their goaltender. Maybe Buffalo at 13 since the were almost a playoff team and have a better defensive core. Edmonton does not have their pick and would have to part with prospects and or NHL ready players.

      Buffalo had 2 high end G prospects and no need for Hart. Edmonton has Skinner who is as good as Hart at this point in time and needs to focus on team defence, not goaltending.

    Philadelphia should tweak there roster for sure but a complete rebuild? Philadelphia has quite a few solid young players and I would definitely hold on to Hart but what do I know ? It looks like the Flyers will continue to hire unqualified alumni and be a pedestrian to subpar group until the Neanderthal way of thinking changes.

    Trading Hart should be the main priority for Briere. Get a top ten pick and one good prospect or two really good prospects and be very satisfied. Hart is not a building block, he is a good but not great goalie

      Hart is good enough. Problem is the team’s defense sucks.

    I can see Hart ending up in Ottawa. They have good prospects and picks to deal. They could deal Batherson if Philly wants a player now.

    The only reason he was good and not great this year is because the defense in front of him sucked and so did the offense! Keep Hart and build around him. He’s only 24 years old!

    I’ll take Hart in an LA Kings jersey.. Kings have plenty of pieces to swap, and Hexi has ties from the Cup years… LFG!

      Hex has no part of any teams management right now. He doesn’t influence either team.
