The other factor that will play into this is, none of these players are actually very good. Some of them have barely played or stopped playing.
So is an NHL team going to take the PR risk for a player that is basically replacement level?
Carter Hart is probably the most capable but even he was OK at best, and hasn't played since mid-way through the 2023-2024 season.
I just don't see a team thinking the benefit outweights the negatives.
These guys can all go play in the KHL.
