I fully expect that the Oilers will do what they always do, and pursue Hart.
However, Hart has not played a competitive game in more than 18 months. Not only that, but if the Oilers subject him to being an NHL goalie, the pressure he will be under from fans will be immense and relentless. I strongly doubt he will ever provide high level goaltending for them.
Their constantly repeated strategy of gifting individuals playing time (instead of having them earn it) has consistently shown to be an ineffective strategy, and it will do so again here.
