Carter Hart's future has been a hot topic in the NHL offseason, with the Philadelphia Flyers embracing a rebuild. This has raised the question of where Hart might land. Among the suitors, the Edmonton Oilers stand out, sparking excitement for a potential reunion between teammates..
The Flyers' commitment to rebuilding has put Hart's impressive talents on the trading block. This promising goaltender has attracted the interest of teams looking to bolster their netminding. The Edmonton Oilers are among them, as they aim for a deep playoff run.
Edmonton currently relies on Jack Campbell as their backup goalie, but concerns persist over consistency. If Campbell falters, Hart could be the answer. What adds intrigue to this scenario is the possibility of reuniting Hart with former teammate Stuart Skinner, creating a strong goaltending duo.
Skinner's words on Hart from last season:
"He got the best of me last game, so hopefully it's the other way tonight," Skinner said with a laugh. He's a hard worker, he's a great player. He's mentally strong and he's very motivated. He's somebody who you hang out with, you get inspired. It's nice that we are friends because it keeps things a little lighter, Skinner said of the local rivalry. It was awesome to watch him at the NHL level and that also gives you motivation to know that I can play at his level, which means that I can play in the NHL too. And fate had it that we're both here now and I get to play against him tonight."
Hart and Skinner's shared history in their early careers could give the Oilers a competitive edge. The Oilers' pursuit of Hart could not only secure their goaltending but also offer a unique storyline with the potential for a successful partnership between Hart and Skinner, making it a storyline to watch in the upcoming NHL season.
