Flyers: 3 insane trade packages that send Carter Hart to Kings

1 of 3

The Philadelphia Flyers are hoping to have a successful season. However, the type of successful season that they are going for is different than you might think.

They aren’t going to be gunning for wins like normal this season because it is just realistic for them with the roster that they have.

What is realistic is winning the lottery and building a winning team from scratch. If they can do that, they will be proud of this season.

One player who might be next in line to be traded as a result of this plan is Carter Hart. He is a great young goalie that has the chance to get even better.

There are tons of teams that would like to add a kid like this. Of them all, the Los Angeles Kings might make the most sense. They could land him in one of these three trades:

The Philadelphia Flyers could try to get a first-round pick for Carter Hart.

As long as the Florida Panthers aren’t one of the ten worst teams in the league, the Philadelphia Flyers will have two first-round picks in the 2024 NHL Draft. If Florida somehow was that bad, the Flyers would get their 2025 first-round pick instead.

With Florida making it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final last spring, it feels unlikely that they will be a bottom-ten team. That is good news for the Flyers.

Well, they might be able to get another first-round pick back for Carter Hart. The Kings have their still in their possession but they might be willing to trade it in an effort to go all-in.

Carter Hart would be a short-term and long-term investment for them which might make it worth it if they wanted to add a good young goalie.

The Philadelphia Flyers could get some good pieces in a Carter Hart trade.

The Los Angeles Kings have had an interesting ride with Alex Turcotte. He was a very high draft pick in 2019 and was considered to be a very highly touted prospect. Since then, however, things haven’t worked out very well for him.

The Los Angeles Kings have seen other prospects, for a variety of different reasons, pass Turcotte by. Now, they are coming into this season with expectations of being a great team. They don’t really have an interest in developing players at the NHL level right now as winning is their deal.

That might mean that Alex Turcotte is expendable. There are plenty of teams that would take a chance on his upside. When he is healthy and confident, he can produce. There is a lot of potential for him in this league if he is just given a chance.

The Flyers could be the team that gives him that chance. They are not doing much winning this season and maybe amongst the worst in the league. He can play with some good players in their top six every night and be ready for their competitive window to open in the coming years.

Getting a future second and seventh-round pick could be something that helps the Flyers just as much if not more. Meanwhile, the Kings would be getting the goalie of their present and future.

The Philadelphia Flyers could make the Carter Hart trade a blockbuster.

The Los Angeles Kings really need better goaltending. It could be the difference between a Western Conference Finals and a first-round exit this year. Paying the price might be a good thing for them at this stage of the game.

They could even get themselves involved in a blockbuster worth a Carter Hart trade. Maybe there is a world in which they get Hart in addition to another good Flyers player. In this scenario, they are getting Carter Hart and Travis Konecny.

That is worth giving up two first-round picks, a second, and a prospect if you are the Kings. For the Flyers, that is cutting ties with your two best players in exchange for some really good rebuilding assets.

Alex Laferriere is a good prospect that the Kings like. He was a third-round pick and is expected to be an NHL player at this point. He just needs some more development. Well, it is obvious that the ice time will be more available in Philly coming up over the next handful of seasons.

Getting all of these high draft picks is also really nice for the Flyers as they really start rebuilding. It should be interesting to see how this all shakes out. With players like this possibly being shipped out, the landscape of the NHL might be changing again.
