Alexsi Kolosov left the Flyers organization. He will be going back to Russia. The reasons, though, are unacceptable, and valid for him to want to leave.
According to reports, the Flyers left Kolosov alone in a hotel during his time with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms down in the AHL, which was his first run in the USA. He could barely speak any English and had to fend for himself.
Kolosov also added he left because «the team had no direction.»
Kolosov, 22, has been a dazzling KHL starter for the last 3 years. He's a top goalie prospect in RU and will, Im sure, earn more NHL love soon
Kolosov was a 3rd round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, selected by the Flyers. The 22 year old put up respectable numbers this season in the KHL with the Dinamo Minsk on loan, having a .907 SV% and a 2.39 GAA. He also saw two games in the AHL this year with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. However, the Belarusian goaltender didn't perform well, having a .885 SV% and a 3.03 GAA.
Hopefully the best comes for Kolosov with this change of direction in his career.
