General Manager Mike Grier announced today that the club has acquired goaltender Alexandar Georgiev, Nikolai Kovalenko, Colorado’s 2026 second-round selection, and a conditional fifth-round draft selection in 2025 in exchange for goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood,

Colorado will retain 14% of Georgiev’s contract, which equates to approximately $476,000. He is in the last season of a three-year, $10.2 million deal.

The Avalanche finally addressed their goaltending situation with a Blackwood-for-Georgiev trade. Is it enough for the Stanley Cup hopefuls?
