Flyers' GM Danny Briere confirms Carter Hart will not return to team after assault charges acquittal
Carter Hart seeks a competitive fresh start after a nearly two-year NHL hiatus and acquittal of sexual assault charges, with the Utah Mammoth showing interest amid cap space availability.
- Philadelphia Flyers GM Danny Briere confirmed on Tuesday that Carter Hart will not return to the team after being acquitted of 2018 assault charges.
- This decision follows Hart and four other players' acquittal and the Canadian government's recent refusal to appeal the ruling about the charges.
- Hart, who debuted for the Flyers in 2018 and won 96 games with six shutouts, ended his Flyers career abruptly in January 2024 amid the legal issues.
- His agent, Judd Moldaver, told the Flyers the goalie seeks a fresh start elsewhere after nearly two years off, and Briere said, "That's where it's at."
- Reports state the Utah Mammoth have cap space and may pursue Hart as a veteran goaltender, while the Flyers and Edmonton Oilers remain out of the sweepstakes.
