However, we have learned in the last few hours that Kent Hughes was not interested in bringing the 24-year-old goalie to Montreal and we now understand why.
According to journalist Sheng Peng, the Flyers' general manager would have completely ridiculous demands towards the teams that would like to acquire the services of Carter Hart. Indeed, according to his information, Daniel Brière would ask for nothing less than two first-round picks for his goaltender.
"A source tells me the Flyers would want at least two first-round picks for Carter Hart." - Sheng Peng
Following his junior career, Carter Hart has long been seen as one of the most promising goalies in the NHL. However, he has struggled greatly to develop his full potential since his arrival in the Bettman circuit.
In 201 games with the Flyers, he recorded a goal-against average of 2.96 and a save percentage of .906.
Would you be willing to sacrifice two first-round picks to get your hands on Carter Hart? Personally, we understand why Kent Hughes gave up on the project.
