Mark Kiszla: Champs today, gone tomorrow. Say goodbye to Darcy Kuemper. And prepare farewells for Nazem Kadri.

Their Stanley Cup runneth over with bags of money. The Avs are champs, and champs want to get paid. They were brothers in a championship quest. But money will rip them apart. Starting now.

So say goodbye, Darcy Kuemper.

Thanks for out-dueling the best goalie on the planet that unforgettable night when Colorado hoisted the Cup. Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic, however, showed Thursday what he really thinks of Kuemper, making a significant draft day trade that shipped three picks to the New York Rangers for backup netminder Alexandar Georgiev.
