Is Carter Hart's stint with the Philadelphia Flyers coming to an end? The Flyers goalie has gone private on Instagram and has also removed his association with the club from his bio.
With the Philadelphia Flyers in a rebuilding phase, there were rumors during the offseason that the club was planning a trade to move Hart out of "The City of Brotherly Love."
However, a trade never came to fruition. Nevertheless, Hart going private on Instagram and removing the Flyers from his bio has added a new twist to this trade saga.
Generally, when athletes remove their club's association from their social media handles, they are often moved on from that team.
In Hart's case, there have been plenty of theories surrounding his decision to go private. As per reports, he was one of the players involved in the Hockey Canada scandal involving a sexual assault on a woman in 2018. However, nothing has been confirmed yet and the investigation's findings have yet to be released.
As of now, no teams have been linked with his signature, so it remains to be seen how Hart's story unfolds in the coming days.
