Tomas Fleischmann (pulmonary embolism) and the Colorado Avalanche haven't engaged in contract talks. If Colorado doesn't re-sign Fleischmann then he will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st. Fleischmann hasn't played since January 18th because of a pulmonary embolism issue. Fleischmann should be okay to play in 2011-12, but he will probably need to be on a blood-thinning medication. It remains to be seen if his health issues will scare away prospective suitors. We'll keep you posted.
