Here’s the latest I can confirm based on available reports:
Carter Hart is widely reported to have signed a two-year contract with the Vegas Golden Knights, with details circulating around a deal in the ballpark of about $2 million per year. However, some outlets emphasize it’s the Vegas organization that’s nearing/has agreed to a two-year arrangement, with official registration and start dates subject to NHL confirmation.[1][3][8]
The signing process included Hart’s eligibility to sign following reinstatement procedures, and reports indicated he would be eligible to participate in NHL activity around December 1, with potential mid-season deployment depending on roster needs.[2][8][1]
There has been some variation in reported contract terms (total value and exact duration) across outlets, but the Vegas deal remains the strongest repeated conclusion from multiple insiders as of late October 2025.[5][7][1]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent updates from a few sources and present a concise, cited summary with the exact contract figures as of today.
