"NHL Players Navigate Legal Processes Amid Sexual Assault Allegations"
TL;DR
Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart is facing a sexual assault charge, with a trial likely several months away and potentially not taking place until 2025. His contract with the Flyers expires this season, and the team will hold his rights as a pending RFA if they tender a qualifying offer. However, it remains uncertain whether Hart will be allowed to play while the legal processes are ongoing, and the team is already receiving cap relief on his salary.
