[Charlie O’Connor] Tortorella confirms that Kolosov is the No. 2 goalie and Fedotov is the No. 3. He said he’s had a conversation with Fedotov about it already. He’s not sure how long they’re going to go with three goalies on the NHL roster, but that’s the current hierarchy.

So insane he didn’t even want come like two months ago
Sounds like it’s just how it’s going until they have to send one down. Still wonder how it goes when that time does come.
I’m a bit surprised that Tortorella would straight up confirm such a hierarchy.
It also continues to be hilarious that, after all the “The Flyers can’t let a 22 year old boss them around!” comments on this subreddit from last summer, the Flyers have now effectively let a 22 year old boss his way into the backup role over their $3.25m backup.
It’ll be interesting to see if this hierarchy holds when (if?) they decide to send a goalie down and run with a normal, two goalie tandem. Even if you’re certain Kolosov is better than Fedotov, it’s arguably more important for the younger goalie to get consistent starts, while the 28 year old can play a backup role.
But we’ve seen before that Torts has an outsized impact on roster decisions relative to other NHL coaches (Luchanko tryout being the big example), so Briere has to take that into consideration when deciding who to send down.
Fedotov just isn’t ready for nhl rinks. He just isn’t adjusted for the size or something yet. He lets in too many stinkers.
gotta find my off-season predictions posts and tweets saying Fedotov would be 3rd string by Christmas. Ya know, to brag.
does this mean big ham sam might have been #1 if he didn’t get hurt?
Just send one down then.
So do we think Ersson gets the majority of starts from now on, or 50/50 with Kolosov?
Let Fedotov get #1 goalie reps in Lehigh. No shot anyone claims him.
