With the Philadelphia Flyers being in full rebuild mode, this means every player is available. Should the Edmonton Oilers go after Carter Hart? There are rumours around that the Flyers are willing to move any player. Of the players on the team, Hart is the only one I would really look at for Edmonton.

The Edmonton Oilers have been searching for a reliable goaltender for years now. They tried Jack Campbell last season, but he lost the starting job to rookie Stuart Skinner. This is why they should seriously consider trading for Carter Hart.

Hart is a young, talented goaltender who has shown a lot of promise in his early career. He has already established himself as a key player for the Philadelphia Flyers, and his potential is undeniable. He has a great save percentage and has shown the ability to make big saves in essential situations. He has also been able to handle the pressure of playing in a big market like Philadelphia.

There are several reasons why the Oilers should make a move for Hart. First and foremost, he would provide them with the high-end stability they desperately need in goal. They have been relying on a rotating cast of goaltenders for too long, and it’s time for them to find a long-term solution. Hart could be that solution.

Additionally, Hart is still young and has a lot of potential to still improve. He could be a cornerstone of the Oilers’ team for years to come. They would be making an investment in their future by acquiring him that is for sure.

Finally, the Oilers have a strong core of young players who could benefit from having a steady and reliable goaltender behind them. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are already the best in the league, but they need a solid goaltender to help them compete for a Stanley Cup.

Of course, trading for Hart would not be an easy task. The Flyers would likely demand a significant return for such a talented young player. However, the Oilers should seriously consider making the move if they want to take the next step in their development as a team.
