Burt stayed two more game years in the service of the Hurricanes before he was transferred to the Philadelphia Flyers in March 1999 in exchange for Andrei Kowalenko . For the Flyers he played the remainder of the 1998/99 season and the following. Since his contract had expired in the summer of 2000, he joined the Atlanta Thrashers as a free agent .
