Kickin’ It with Kiz: Would the Avs have been wiser to pursue Marc-Andre Fleury as their goalie?

Did the Avs give up too much by trading three draft picks for New York Rangers backup Alexandar Georgiev, when they could have gotten a same-tier goaltender (Ville Husso) with a single third-round pick?

Kiz: Well, it’s hard to imagine St. Louis would’ve traded Husso to a division rival. While the staff here at Kickin’ It Headquarters applauded saying goodbye to Darcy Kuemper. the addition of Georgiev echoes the Avalanche’s past moves for Semyon Varlamov and Philipp Grubauer. If Joe Sakic was going to apply another Band-Aid to the position, might it have been bolder to acquire 37-year-old Marc-Andre Fleury, a three-time winner of the Cup?
