Rumour is we inquired on Hart (and Dube), but Hart is looking at an American team. Probably the best choice for himself, as he could be anonymous in a city like Nashville, near where he was training during the trial versus answering questions everyday in a large market or Canadian market.

He lost 25lbs in one season??
Lol that's insane. What was Stuart Dinners workout routine before this year? He's a goalie so I'm guessing it involved a lot of splits. Bannana splits.

he had a kid last year, right? Even as a pro athlete, it's not totally surprising.

Trying to find his old weights before last year. 230 was probably the highest he's ever been, maybe cause of having kids. I can only find older measurements of 215 and 220 on stat sites.
So, he might still have managed to be at least ~10 lbs lighter than he was in seasons before. Hopefully pays off. Curious if he has a new coach that pushed him to do this with the Schwartz out.

Yes I have kids.

you didn't put on weight when your wife was pregnant or when you were sleep deprived for over a year?

I do have a working theory that goalies (at least Oilers goalies) struggle after having a kid and often find their game again a few years later (Talbot, Dubnyk, maybe Skinner). Is you are a half second off from sleep deprivation at another position, it may make an impact, but it doesn't always result in a goal. The same isn't true for goalies, so if they aren't as sharp mentally or physically they get exposed.
It's my theory. I keep hoping some journalist will do a deep dive on it.
