Marc-Andre Fleury to the Colorado Avalanche makes some sense
NHL Watcher: Elliotte Friedman last week on the 32 Thoughts: The Podcast on the Colorado Avalanche: “If we get to a point where the #mnwild are out, to me, Colorado is one of those teams that’s going to ask, Marc-André Fleury, would you be interested in this?”
Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now: The Colorado Avalanche have had some issues in net compared to last season.
Elliotte Friedman wonder about Marc-Andre Fleury on his podcast, more of the idea making sense and not a scoop.

Adding someone like would make sense for the Avs but his cap hit of $3.5 million would give the Avs some issues. The Wild may need to retain salary.
