Carter Hart's contract details leak following tumultuous time ...
With the legal proceedings behind, Hart is finally close to securing a new NHL deal.
www.hockeyfeed.comDirect answer: Carter Hart’s latest reported contract status places him with the Vegas Golden Knights on a two-year deal, around $4 million in total value, with eligibility to play starting December 1 after the reinstatement process.[4][9]
What this means and context:
- The signing followed Hart’s reinstatement and return timeline, which permits him to practice immediately but limits game activity until the league allows him to play on Dec. 1.[4]
- Multiple outlets indicated the move was close to final in late October 2025, with emphasis on a two-year term and a per-season average around the $2 million range, culminating in roughly $4 million total.[1][3][4]
- While there was earlier reporting about potential interest from other teams and a PTO period, the ESPN report confirms the two-year, $4 million contract with Vegas as the outcome.[4]
