Avalanche trade for goalie Alexandar Georgiev likely signals end to Darcy Kuemper’s time in Colorado

The Avalanche will likely defend its Stanley Cup title next season with a new starter in net.

Colorado acquired New York Rangers goalie Alexandar Georgiev in exchange for NHL draft picks on Thursday to signal the likely end of Darcy Kuemper’s time with the Avs.

Kuemper, 32, posted a .921 save percentage and 2.54 goals against average in the regular season before winning the Cup. He is expected to leverage that success into a salary bump when he hits the market as an unrestricted free agent Wednesday, according to media reports.
