In a recent 32 Thoughts podcast episode, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman dropped a bomb about the potential destination for veteran goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
Colorado Avalanche GM Chris MacFarland has expressed the team's need for a backup goalie before the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline to ease the workload on primary goaltender Alexandar Georgiev.
The struggling Minnesota Wild, facing diminishing playoff hopes, could make Fleury an attractive option for teams seeking goaltending help.
Friedman hinted that if the Wild find themselves out of playoff contention, the Avalanche might be one of the teams pursuing Marc-Andre Fleury in the upcoming weeks.
"If we get to a point where the Minnesota Wild are out, to me, Colorado is one of those teams that's going to ask, Marc-André Fleury, would you be interested in this?"
Considering the Avalanche's goaltending needs, acquiring a seasoned player like Fleury could be a significant move.
However, it's essential to note that Fleury would need to approve the move to Colorado due to his no-movement clause. This potential development adds an interesting storyline to monitor in the coming weeks.
