Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky has long been rumored to be seeking stability in net, given Frederik Andersen’s injury history. A future that is a bit uncertain in goal means that Hart could be an option. Several insiders, including Michael Russo and Frank Seravalli, have tied the Hurricanes closely to Hart in recent weeks.

Utah also looms as an intriguing option. Building credibility in their first season after relocation, a tandem of Hart and Karel Vejmelka could solidify the crease immediately. However, other sources have told us that from what they’re hearing, the Mammoth have not given serious thought to Hart as an option.

Hart holds a career record of 96-93-29 with a 2.94 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage. Despite ups and downs, his ceiling continues to make him one of the most sought-after goaltenders available.

The question isn’t whether Hart will find a new home, but which club will make the decisive move. Right now, all signs point toward Carolina leading the chase.
