Confirmed Signing with Link: [PHI] Carter Hart signs extension with the Flyers (3 years, $3.979M AAV)

[Atoyot]

Imagine being in a financial position that allows you to throw 63k away so that the 3rd and 4th digit of your 7 figure salary matches your jersey number.

 

[SyZyGY]

Pasta should easily get Panarin money $11M+

He won't get 11M+. I think he'll get around 9.5M-10M as remember him saying he doesn't care all that much about money. His last contract was 6 x 6.66M so I think 8 X 8.88M will be something they'll talk about, doesn't mean it'll happen but I think there's a chance. We'll see.

 

[Helistin]

Carter Hart can sleep with a smile dreaming of those shifts when Rasmus Ristolainen and Keith Yandle will be paired off in front of him.

Hart , Ristolainen , Yandle and Jones. How will anyone score against the Flyers again?

 

[LeafsandSharksfan]

Gamble but could pay off big.

 

[kilowatt]

Hart didn't look great last season but neither did the Flyers. A three year deal at less than $4 million per year for a prime bounce-back candidate with a ton of potential isn't a bad deal at all. Most goalies aren't even in the league at 22!

 

[Boy Hedican]

All makes sense Flyers fans. Once you see Jones [glove hand] in the pipes a few times you’ll wonder why you didn’t pay Hart even more.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

Uhhh I get paying for upside but, how do you give 4m to a guy coming off a .877? He looked good his first two years but it doesn't seem like he would have the leverage to pull 4m after last seasons performance.

deja vu to the Koskinen signing that got Chiarelli fired.

 

[The Macho King]

All makes sense Flyers fans. Once you see Jones [glove hand] in the pipes a few times you’ll wonder why you didn’t pay Hart even more.

I mean... they could have just signed literally anyone else.

He gets 2 million even if he does a bad job. Very Santa Claus:

I thought he was trying to match his GAA from last season.

 

[SML2]

I've heard of a "show me" contract. This is a "show me your GM is an idiot" contract. Hart just posted the lowest save% for a starter I have seen since early 90s. If he doesn't come out guns blazing and prove last season was an anomaly in thefirst half, that GM just pissed away his job. Big risk, Not alot of reward.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Carter Hart isn't just bad, he was statistically the absolute worst goalie in the entire league last year and by a large margin.

How that gets someone a $4mil/yr contract is beyond me but surely the Flyers know what they are doing with all of their recent success and Stanley Cups.

 

[inthewings]

He was the worst goalie in the NHL this year, but OK.

Didn't Crosby do something like that because he's obsessed with 87?

 

[ToDavid]

He won't get 11M+. I think he'll get around 9.5M-10M as remember him saying he doesn't care all that much about money. His last contract was 6 x 6.66M so I think 8 X 8.88M will be something they'll talk about, doesn't mean it'll happen but I think there's a chance. We'll see.

I won't pretend to know what he'll do on his next contract, but players say a lot of things. David "I would play hockey for a sack of potatoes" Pastrnak also held out into training camp and had his agent floating rumours about KHL offers, for his current deal.

[Siludin]

Last season hurt him by $2m I'd say.
If Hart put together a relatively pedestrian .910 SV% season he would have been getting locked up at $6m per for 6+ years for his performance at his age.
His pedigree is crazy.

 

[Siludin]

I mean... they could have just signed literally anyone else.

He gets 2 million even if he does a bad job. Very Santa Claus:

Why would they want to sign a guaranteed garbage backup goalie over a young phenom goalie who has had 2 solid seasons and 1 bad by the AGE OF 22 (it's very rare any goalie plays 100 games before they are 22)

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Imagine being in a financial position that allows you to throw 63k away so that the 3rd and 4th digit of your 7 figure salary matches your jersey number.

Now imagine being in a financial position that allows you to throw away $4mil a year on the worst goalie in the NHL!

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...Philly's ridiculously terrible D doesn't get enough "credit" for Hart's season last year; they were truly awful in their own zone...unfortunately, I can't see Ellis or Ristolainen helping with the defensive aspects much, so Hart better be dialed in to see a ton of rubber again this season...poor kid...

 

[Pia8988]

A lot hating on it didn't watch much of the Flyers. Worst defensive team in the league. Hart wasn't good, but the amount of times an opponent scored from within 5 feet of a Philly goalie uncovered makes you really wonder how AV still has a job.

Weird how NHL backup/journeyman Brian Elliot could put up a significantly better sv% AND a winning record behind the very same defense though!

 

[TGWL]

Imaging being so rich that you throw away 63 000$ just because you like a specific digit...

Especially after the entire US went into shutdown not long ago.

$189K ********

 

[captainpaxil]

I think the vote of confidence that is inherent in this contract will be good for hart's game

 

[hockeyisles]

Flyers will be interesting to watch this year, could be good or could be an expensive tire fire. Given who their GM is I’m not confident it’ll work. AV isn’t all that stable either. I think I better stock up on popcorn.
