intent on returning, at least four teams are showing interest in the former Flyers goaltender.<\/p>\n<p>Once upon a time, Carter Hart was seen as one of the most promising young goaltenders in the National Hockey League, but after spending the last 18 months away from the game, it&#8217;s been unclear whether we would see him in the league again.<\/p>\n<p>Now that&#8217;s he&#8217;s cleared to return, there has been hope of a return to the NHL, and while Gary Bettman is yet to clear Hart to rejoin the NHL, all expectations are that at some point, he&#8217;ll be given the opportunity to play again.<\/p>\n<p>Teammates Say Hart Looks Ready for a Comeback<\/p>\n<p>When he was healthy, Hart was one of the more promising players in the NHL, posting a 2.80 GAA and a .906 save percentage in the 2023\/24 campaign through 26 appearances, the final one of his career to date.<\/p>\n<p>At 27-years of age, there&#8217;s still plenty of time for him to become a genuine starter in the NHL again, and now, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.2muttspodcast.com\/\" class=\"lien_marqueur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">2 Mutts Hockey Podcast<\/a>, there are 4 teams interested in him, with an announcement on his return to the NHL expected soon.<\/p>\n<p>We are expecting an announcement within the next few weeks on Hart&#8217;s road back into the NHL as there are a lot of teams who would bring him in on a PTO as at least 4 organizations have told us if he&#8217;s cleaned to return we will bring him in.<\/p>\n<p>Several NHL Teams Reportedly Open to Bringing Hart In<\/p>\n<p>While no teams were named by the report, teams like Edmonton, Toronto and other contenders could make sense for the former Flyers star, and if he can prove he&#8217;s up to the task of playing like he once did, he could be a genuine asset for a team.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately though, until something is made official, this is all speculation, but with an announcement expected soon, it wouldn&#8217;t be a shock to see the 27-year old back on the ice again in 2025\/26.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on HouseOfHockey<\/p>\n<p>POLL<\/p>\n<p>2 HOURS AGO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a071
