"The Golden Knights announced Hart's addition Thursday, noting in a statement that the goalie had been reinstated by the NHL and NHL Players' Association. "The Golden Knights are aligned with the process and assessment the NHL and NHLPA made in their decision," the team said. "We remain committed to the core values that have defined our organization from its inception and expect that our players will continue to meet these standards moving forward.""
"Sources said Hart, 27, is on a paid tryout that is expected to be converted to an NHL contract. Should Vegas sign Hart, he is eligible to begin playing in the NHL on Dec. 1. Hart was one of five players on Canada's 2018 under-20 world junior team who was found not guilty of sexual assault charges in July. The trial in London, Ontario, stemmed from an alleged assault that took place after the 2018 Hockey Canada Foundation Gala."
"Sources said Hart will report to Vegas, where he can begin training with the team, according to conditions set by the NHL and NHLPA. He is expected to then go to Henderson, Nevada, and get some game action beginning Nov. 15 with the Golden Knights' minor league affiliate. Hart was a second-round pick by Philadelphia in the 2016 draft. He has played in 227 career NHL games, recording a 2.94 goals-against average and .906 save percentage."
