If I am trading away a 1st, I am only doing it for a goalie and that goalie is Carter Hart. I think you can package one of our goalie prospects or UPL, #16 this year and throw in Mitts.

There is your goalie for the next 3-5 Years and it gives time for Levi to play in the AHL

I think he is, he plays in front of a horrible defensive team.

There's decent goalie's in FA, we shouldn't have to waste assets on a goalie, other than cap space. Spend those assets on a good RD and a top 9 banger with upside. And if a Fiala deal comes up and it doesn't hurt to much, jump on it.

Carter Hart is only 23
Even in a full rebuild, no reason for Philly to move him

Only issue with FA for the G is there will be several teams who are looking for a starting G...could translate to higher contract costs...but still, I agree with your plan.

I like hart's upside and age, but seems like a but too much IMO.

Maybe 28OA and either / mitts or upl.

I really dont feel like mitts is a throw in, injuries have really thrown his career for a loop.

Agree. We just need a goalie for 2ish years and hopefully UPL, Levi or Portillo emerge

Cap space is what we have plenty of. Weaponize it

Mitts value is so low you are better off keeping him and hope he turns it around. What we get for him would prob not be worth it at this time. Unless it’s like a nylander/joker trade

You keep looking for "decent" goalies 36.

Decent is not going to move the needle with this team.

Craig Anderson was slightly less than decent.

Lunaion's guy dt31 could be considered decent or close
