Tomas Fleischmann will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 if the Avalanche do not sign him. Fleischmann suffered a pulmonary embolism in the middle of January and did not play after January 18th so the Avs, as well as all other teams, could be be wary of his physical well-being heading into the 2011-12 season. He will likely be on blood thinners next season to keep his medical problem in check but he should be all right for the start of training camp. Stay tuned as it is not known if the Avs and Fleischmann are even in negotiations at this time.
