Goalies are getting moved left, right and centre in the NHL right now and some BIG names have been included. Of the bunch, Marc-Andre Fleury is easily the biggest of the bunch as he was shipped to Chicago for basically nothing, and Darcy Kuemper couldn’t help but poke fun at how The Flower poked fun about it after he himself was traded from Arizona.

Kuemper was sent packing to the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday and he was just thankful that he didn’t have to find out about the transaction on Twitter. We can’t say we blame him for poking fun at the situation because it’s just that ridiculous.

Darcy Kuemper is still in AZ, head spinning. He doesn't know when he'll go to Colorado yet, but he did say he found out about the trade from his agent Ben Hankinson: “I didn’t find out on Twitter or anything, so that’s good.”

Ya think Darcy? We’d hope you didn’t find out on Twitter.

Fleury was the face of the franchise in Vegas since the team’s inaugural season and to say his agent Allan Walsh was disappointed in the way things were handled for his client would be an understatement. Walsh took to Twitter to let everyone know that his side had not heard from the Golden Knights following the trade.

While Marc-Andre Fleury still hasn’t heard from anybody with the Vegas Golden Knights, he has apparently been traded to Chicago. Marc-Andre will be taking time to discuss his situation with his family and seriously evaluate his hockey future at this time.

While Fleury contemplates his future in Chicago, Kuemper is headed to Colorado where he will try to win a Stanley Cup with one of the NHL’s best rosters.
