Carter Hart, previously with the Philadelphia Flyers, is reportedly considering a career move to the KHL amidst lingering controversy from the 2018 World Juniors scandal.
Now a free agent, Hart, who boasts a salary of $3.9 million, finds the KHL a viable option for continuing his career, despite the unresolved legal situation awaiting trial.
Hart, a second-round pick for the Flyers in 2016, distinguished himself as a top goalie, earning the CHL Goaltender of the Year twice with the WHL's Everett Silvertips. Over six NHL seasons, Hart accumulated a record of 218-96-93, with a 2.94 goals against average in 227 games.
The scandal, which also involves NHL players Dillon Dube, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote, and former player Alex Formenton, has significantly impacted the players' reputations.
