On Tuesday morning local time, KHL club HC Dinamo Minsk announced that Philadelphia Flyers goalie prospect Alexei Kolosov would officially be departing the club in order to join up with the Flyers organization.​

​

A source familiar with the situation previously indicated to Philly Hockey Now that this was likely once Kolosov’s season ended.​

​

Kolosov, 22, signed a three-year, entry-level contract worth $2.775 million with the Flyers back on July 8 before subsequently being returned on loan to Minsk nine days later.​

​

It is worth noting that because Kolosov was age 20 or older when he signed his contract with the Flyers, he is not eligible for an “entry-level slide”. This means that one year will be burned off of his ELC at the end of the season, regardless of whether he plays games for the Flyers this season or not.​

Sheskterkin. Sorokin, Vasilevskiy, Bobrovsky, Kolosov: all russian goalies of similar caliber.

Kolosov is Belarussian, get it right.

It'll be important if they're allowed to ever play international hockey again

 

[captainpaxil]

My understanding is he is on an elc so he could play for the flyers in our back to back but because he joined so late he's ineligible for the playoffs.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Don't think so. He was already signed before the season.

 

[dats81]

I can't imagine they just throw him to the wolves, he won't go straight to the NHl, and Lappy will watch him in practice for weeks until finally trying him in a game because he values veteranship in Peterson so much.

How many times do people need to be told he's not Russian.

How many times do people need to be told he's not Russian.

Apparently the people who wrote the article need to be reminded as well

Seems like a lot of people are high on this guy, but I am not getting my hopes up

How many times do people need to be told he's not Russian.

If Belarus wasn’t considered part of Russia already, the Russian leader would have invaded it by now. If Russia invaded Belarus, there would be “Russian Tank Parking Here” signs all over the Belarus’ Capitol parking lot.

When you get a chance, ask a regular Belarusian person if they feel Russian.

Oh baby our next Niko Hovinen.

Was this unexpected? Any impact or trend on players coming over from Russia? Cough...Michkov...cough...

This was expected as Kolosov is already under contract with the Flyers and was loaned back to to Minsk. Michkov is currently under contract with SKA for another 2 years(?) and unless his contract is voided by SKA then he is their property.

Dang.

Dang.

Unless he defects.

Unless he defects.

Fingers crossed

do you really want him to come over now so Torts can play him on the 4th line with...Nic

 

[GKJ]

Hope Kolosov picks a cool number. 35 for a goalie is boring.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

do you really want him to come over now so Torts can play him on the 4th line with...Nic

Yes. I would prefer that to him being in the KHL and having him want to stay there/be forced to stay there. I know there is always the "FLYERS HATE YOUNG PLAYERS" narrative that has existed here for a long time despite the fact that they regularly play young players in appropriate roles. Yes, there are times when they don't, but I'm willing to bet that if Michkov is as advertised he won't be on par with or behind Deslaurier on the depth chart.

Will Torts bench him if he gives up on a play or has a bunch of really bad turnovers or makes a bunch of really bad decisions? Sure, and I don't have a problem with that. If he comes in and struggles is he going to give him top line minutes? Of course not and he shouldn't. Will Torts say He wants him to play 7 minutes a night on the 4th line for the entirety of his rookie season just because? No, I am not worried about that.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Really hope he comes in soon and comes in with a bang.

Hope Kolosov picks a cool number. 35 for a goalie is boring.

Maybe come in with 72 like Bob.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Hope Kolosov picks a cool number. 35 for a goalie is boring.

Are they still not allowed to be 0 or 00? That is definitely where I'd be if I were a goalie.

 

[GKJ]

Are they still not allowed to be 0 or 00? That is definitely where I'd be if I were a goalie.

No. But they should allow it, the others do it. At least for 0, not sure I would with 00. Leave that one to the mascots.

But then you’ll get some weird 200 hockey men thing who think it’s disrespectful or some stupid shit instead of what could be intelligent marketing.

79

79

I’d be getting that number on somebody, but not a goaltender.
