Kolosov Rumors Continue as Goalie Reportedly Bails on Flyers

According to a report, Alexei Kolosov, the Philadelphia Flyers’ top goalie prospect, bailed on the team and slept through his flight instead of showing up to development camp earlier in the month as originally planned. According to a report from Ivan Bogun via Belarus Hockey and Telegram...

Maybe it's to rough in Philly for him.

If he leaves it will be another high draft pick we lose with nothing in return.

While it may discourage us from drafting Russian players or anyone playing in the KHL in the future, if we lose Kolosov, he was drafted in the 3rd round, 78th overall. We have 6 picks next year just in the top two rounds. I don't think a 3rd round pick is considered a high draft pick or a massive loss, for what it's worth. We still have Ersson and Fedotov too, who show a lot of potential.

Yep, hopefully Fodotov works out as a number 2

That would be awesome with Errsson as a number 1 would be great for us.

Hart is a big loss though.

Flyers' 6-foot-4 center prospect has hockey bloodlines and desire to work

As the son of a former NHLer, Flyers prospect Jack Berglund has the bloodlines and work ethic pushing him to better.

Crispy, you could add a Flyer avi in the middle or on either end of your avi trio that has three Avalanche avis. lol! Just kidding! Yea, I know. I could add one too but they don't have a quad avi available, so I went with what I could based on time spent in that sport. lol!

It seems to be more of being in North America thing. He is young and homesick.

Should of hooked him up on a night on the town with Mike Richard's and Jeff Carter as Chaperones.

If Konecny really does want $10 million per season, I'm not sure we can even afford it for the 1st season ('25-'26) of any potential deal at that price. Cates, Frost, Foerster and York (RFA's) will all need new deals and Hayes/Atkinson (buyouts) will still be on the books for that season too. I hate to trade this dude away, but if he won't budge on that price, it may be a deal-breaker.

Also, I sure as hell wouldn't want to sign him beyond 4-5 seasons at that price. He will be 28 and a half right as season 1 of the deal is beginning. Nobody is arguing that this guy doesn't deserve a big raise, but $5.5m to $10m is pretty massive. Hopefully that is just their starting point in negotiations.

Flyers lose another prospect for nothing.
Complaints about paying our best player.

The reality is that our best player is not worth $10 mill per year. That would place him in the top 17 in salary for the league. He was 59th in the league in points. $8.5 mill places him in the top 50. In a hard cap world with so many shitty contracts, they can't overpay because he is the best player on a mediocre team. His value is $8 - $8.5 mill/year.

How many points would he have had if the team wasn't absolute shit around him??

You have to pay him more because you made him play with shit his whole career. Basically sabotaging his earning potential by being a fucked up franchise.

Why would he sign here??

Do you think he is a top 20 player in the league?

This is the understatement of the year!!

They are a terrible franchise if you don't even factor the cap at all.

He's our best player.

Have you forgotten that the Flyers can't draft for shit?

How are you going to replace konecny??

How many goals is your 10 million dollars going to score???
