CARTER HART - Goalie - 21 - $.73MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 8/20/19
Seeing as he was playing for the Everett Silvertips of the WHL in the same calendar year he made his debut on the Flyers' roster, Carter Hart is a bit ahead of the goaltending development curve. Whereas most goalies will go pro at 20 or so, spend three or four years in the ECHL/AHL, and then break in as a starter in their mid-twenties, Hart ignored that. Instead, Hart seized the starting job in Philly almost as soon as he got there, and while he may have slowed down as the season went on he definitely looked like the Flyers' franchise goalie and potentially their best goalie since the days of Ron Hextall. Hart has decent but overwhelming size for a goalie, but he's very technically refined. He has great vision and moves with intent, and he's proactive at killing chances before they happen. He's athletic and capable of making some shock saves, and is not prone to giving up soft goals when he's on. As is the case with most goalies of his age, Hart is still prone to having a meltdown here or there, but in general he's a very steady goaltender who oozes talent. Hart is a potential franchise goaltender and should get the bulk of starts for Philly going forward.
