[Di Marco] At this point it sounds like the #Flyers aren’t expecting Alexei Kolosov at camp and are proceeding with such assumption. As @KKurzNHL alluded in his article, PHI is still not open to a loan to the KHL.

  1. This feels like a game of chicken right now.

    >Kolosov: I want to play in the KHL this season

    > Flyers: Too bad, we aren’t loaning you again. Time to hold up your end of the deal.

    > Kolosov: Well I’m not coming over to camp. Watch me sit out.

    Who breaks first: Kolosov coming to NA to collect his paychecks (Or signing a contract in the KHL), or the Flyers agreeing to a loan so that their top goalie prospect doesn’t sit around wasting for a season?

  2. Felt as such with Kurz’s article.

    It did say a lot to me that the organization is already pumping up Eetu Makiniemi based on that article which is a little interesting to day the least, I’m sure he’ll actually be signed at some point.

    Will Kolosov not play for 2 years until his contract runs out? Don’t think Minsk would sign him and breach IIHF regulations like CSKA did with Fedotov even though that means very little over there.

    On another note it’s extremely weird that there are two accounts in the quotes and replies here claiming to be Flyers fans but essentially victory lapping this information

  3. Honestly, he’s the worst goalie prospect we have. I’d rather have Zavragin with no issues.

  4. Idk if funny is the right word but kolosov being the player that “doesn’t come over” and not michkov or fedotov sure is somthing

  5. At this point I don’t even think this can be interpreted as bad PR for the Flyers. This guy took his paycheck, claimed to be homesick after barely a month over in NA, and now is holding out.

    I’m obviously biased but I have to imagine other people can see this is not on the Flyers Org

  6. I’m so sick of this guy lol. Kick rocks, Lex.

    The other Russian goalie on our team was abducted and shipped off to some military compound… but this guy is homesick after taking our money and being given an extra year at home? Kick… rocks.

  7. I get that he’s homesick. It doesn’t seem like he’s ever really spent much time away from home, and I don’t know how independent he’s ever actually had to be. However, exactly what does he think is going to get easier in a year?
