[Chris Johnston] Sources say there is no change to the NHL rights of the Canadian world junior players charged with sexual assault. That means Dillon Dubé (CGY), Carter Hart (PHI), Michael McLeod (NJ) and Cal Foote (NJ) will become UFA’s if not tendered a qualifying offer by 5 p.m. ET on Sunday.

  1. Meltzer wrote an article about this and basically the teams tender them (if they want) but then the NHL will put them on an exempt list. The player won’t count towards a roster spot

  2. I literally could not care less about the status of Carter Hart’s rights and I hope we don’t qualify him.

  3. Would be a bad look for any team to sign him at this point. Gotta let him go to UFA

  4. When I heard the allegations, Hart became a non player for me. I feel like if they do do something with him, other than release, I think shit will go down.

  5. Allegations are just that till everything comes out in court. Tender him and if he gets found guilty, terminate the contract. To my knowledge, most of these contracts have morality clauses and shit that would give the team an out.

  6. This is an easy one, just let him go. Even if he miraculously manages to play in the NHL again, it shouldn’t be for us and we shouldn’t be trying to figure out how we can snag an asset to let someone else take him.

    Cut ties and be done with this saga, plain and simple.

  7. He’s gonna be on a list alright. Going to have to register for it and all.
