Confirmed with Link: Carter Hart Officially Charged With One Count Of Sexual Assault (Per His Lawyers); Non-roster, salary cap info in OP

[SnS]

SALARY CAP INFO: Ristolainen injury could affect deadline — The Fourth Period

Full Cap Relief for Hart​

Per our friends at Cap Friendly, the Flyers have gotten full salary cap relief for Carter Hart, who is on an indefinite leave of absence. He has been shifted to “Non Roster” and counts for nothing against the salary cap, allowing the team to accrue cap space.​

​

The Flyers project to have about $7.9 million in cap space by the Trade Deadline. They’re also prepared to shift Ryan Ellis to LTIR if need be, which would open up an additional $6.25 million. I was told last week the Flyers would “explore” taking on less than ideal contracts to help push trades over the finish line if need be; having a potential $14 million-plus in cap space to weaponize would certainly give them a lot of leverage to do so.​

Let the speculation commence.

Well, here come the questions and many non-answers.

Friendship ended with Carter. Now Samuel is my best friend.

 

[pooch]

We didnt even get a chance to tank his trade value, he did it to himself. Great.

A friendly reminder to those who might have forgotten.... but we are still in the Flyers' darkest timeline.

Time to ride Peterson to the lottery

There is no forgetting.

Time to ride Peterson to the lottery

Yep. This might be the best way for them to get to the lottery. Will also give Briere/Jones the green light to do some selling at now, as good as the team's been playing.

I'm glad we have Ersson now & Kolosov in the prospect pool.

Not too surprising

32 Thoughts Friedman said teams were asking what is Philly doing with Walker? He is playing well enough to get attention.

I think they are going to regress, especially if Hart goes missing for a while

 

[Audible Velvet]

Hate for it to happen that way.

 

[landsbergfan]

Seems obvious, RIP

People believe what they want to believe. It is all speculation at this point.

This wouldn't be the first time Hart hasn't played due to mental health. He has always been a big proponent for it and even was one of the first Philly athletes I can remember that worked with a dedicated sports psychologist.

Who knows? Hoping for the best, but smart enough to expect the worst. We have been through this exercise once already this season when he took Flyers out of his bio on instagram.

 

[Curufinwe]

The Flyers don't have another back to back until March 1st/2nd

Ersson could start the next 14 games

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The Flyers are going to need to make further comments at this time.

To think they can just skate by is foolish even if it is completely unrelated.

Briere has pre-scheduled availability tomorrow morning.

Very curious to see what JJ says on the broadcast tonight

Seems too late to me.

If it’s truly not related you get in front of it and protect Hart. The speculation is going to put the Gauthier stuff to shame.
