However, with the Flyers' struggles to win games came a stunning fall for Hart. He has now put up three straight seasons with a save percentage below 0.910. Now he is on the trade block and could be on the move before the season begins.
This trade works out for both sides if all players involved hit their potential. Carter Hart makes the Kraken an instant contender in the West and gives them a cornerstone goaltender. Philadelphia gets back a goaltender to play during their rebuild who is dependable but not outstanding in Grubauer. They also get a future first-round pick and a top prospect in center David Goyette who has played well at the OHL level since being drafted.
