"Will have a 2-year deal with a team from out West"
NHL analyst Michael Russo provided a significant update on goaltender Carter Hart's potential return.
www.sportskeeda.comHere’s the latest on Carter Hart’s contract situation based on recent reporting.
- As of late October 2025, Carter Hart reportedly signed a two-year contract with the Vegas Golden Knights, with contract details indicating around $2–4 million per season depending on the source. The official NHL registration was set for mid-October to allow the signing to be finalized.[4][7][8]
- Prior chatter suggested Hart was exploring options with multiple teams and aiming for a fresh start in a American market with a chance to compete for wins; Philadelphia was not anticipated to be his destination.[1][3]
- Some reports also noted that Hart could be in the lineup for NHL action starting December 2025, following a period of suspension and subsequent eligibility to sign and play.[2][3][7]
