The future of Alexei Kolosov is up in the air
Jordan Hall: It sounds like Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Alexei Kolosov can’t find an NHL spot, he wants to play in the KHL and not the AHL.
Anthony DiMarco: It is believed (as of Wednesday morning) that Kolosov is training with Minsk of the KHL.
- Hockey News Hub: (reported Wednesday morning) Minsk’s No. 1 goalkeeper Andrei Karayev has been placed on the injured list.
Jonathan Bailey of Philadelphia Hockey Now: Kolosov did not show up for Flyers training camp, a move that surprised no one. GM Danny Briere said earlier this week that he hopes Kolosov will change his mind and return to Belarus.
“We hope that he will change his mind and decide to come, but it doesn’t look like it right now,” said Briere on Tuesday. “That’s right. We have to move on.”
Briere isn’t sure if Kolosov just wants to play for the Flyers or if he doesn’t want to play in the NHL at all.
“We are surprised at this time, because he does not show that he wants to come,” Briere concluded. “That was an understanding. Last year, when we signed the contract, he asked us to borrow for one year so that he could continue to grow for one year, and then he came. And here we are now and you’re still saying the same thing.
“It is time for him to stand up and respect the contract.”
