Here’s What Really Happened With Alexei Kolosov and the Flyers [Crossing Broad]
Not generally a reader of CB but I hadn't seen this info reported anywhere else. Seems extreme contradictory to what was initially reported re:how Flyers brass handled the situation.
What does being 23 have to do with anything? Bailey looks like shit in all this and good. “I’m definitely not apologizing, even though I exaggerated a thing that I don’t even know happened.” Then get out of here if you’re not going to own up to your bullshit.

Who the fuck is Jon Bailey?

TLDR:
– Flyers offered to put Kolosov in same apartment complex as most of his teammates, Kolosov didn’t want roommate and chose to stay at different hotel. Flyers didn’t force him to stay in hotel.
– Flyers were upfront and Kolosov knew he would only get a couple games and then spend the remaining time with development coaches on and off the ice.
– Flyers acknowledge they didn’t have was a coach or a teammate who could speak the same language as Kolosov. Given when Kolosov arrived they couldn’t add anyone to the roster.
– Flyers communicated to Kolosov that the organization planned for him to be the No. 1 goalie in the AHL in 2024-25 and that they would attempt to bring in a player or two who speak Russian to add a level of comfort for him as he continued to adapt to a North American lifestyle.
– Kolosov never communicated to the team that he felt uncomfortable. Flyers only became aware through his representatives.
– The Flyers are in constant communication with his agents and remain optimistic that Kolosov will come to training camp, even though he did not come to development camp earlier this month.
– Kolosov has not asked to terminate contract, those reports are inaccurate. Kolosov nor his representatives have told the Flyers he doesn’t plan to report, which is why the Flyers are optimistic he will return.
– There is thought that Kolosov is frustrated how he was handled compared to how Fedotov was handled, going straight to the NHL and getting a new contract.
