Prospect Info: Round 3, 78th Overall - Alexei Kolosov (G) - Minsk (KHL) -- 6'1", 187 pounds

[Redpath]

The KHL giveth and the KHL taketh.

I love it. Keep the young goalies coming through Allentown.

 

[GKJ]

I wonder how amenable they will be to loan him back.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I'll have to look more into this kid, but I've heard good things about him from people on here.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Would love to see him for a year in Allentown

 

[Rebels57]

Ustimenko never dominated the KHL, at the moment of the signing with the Flyers he was playing pretty much only in the MHL, not to mention that injuries hit him rather badly.

I stand corrected. I most have conflated Ustimenko and Fedotov when it comes to the KHL. That said, Kirill was still very highly regarded when he came over.

[Adam Warlock]

So wait he signed an ELC but is staying in Russia?

 

[DancingPanther]

Gettin real sick of your shit KHL

The AHL doesn't kidnap players under NHL contract though. There's that little detail

 

[GKJ]

Dreams of what? He isn’t winning jack shit at Dinamo Minsk.

Very long and interesting update here

Very long and interesting update here

Bill seems to be padding his story with outlier theories "There are some who seem to believe that it'd an easy matter to break his contract with SKA." I have yet to read anyone saying that or any conversation about breaking his contract. All I have seen are people saying to negotiate an earlier release. I think there were some tongue-in-cheek comments about tunnels and being smuggled out in Fedotov's suitcase.

 

[Danko]

Alright, so I honestly don't know what the f*** is going on with our Russian Goalies at this point....The Fedotov stuff has been changing every day...so are we at the point of assuming he is not coming over and he's a wasted prospect at this point?

Sounds like Kolosov is playing on loan in the khl with his ELC signed now? He's coming over next year?

Fedotov is gone and by the time he is done he will be an older goalie 29-30, maybe if he plays lights out this season they can discuss buying his contract out but he will still be an older goalie.

Kolosov since they have him under contract they can bring him over when they are ready. He's young and playing well in the 2nd best hockey league in the world, he can stay there while the Flyers figure out their goaltender situation here. Is Hart gone? Will Ersson become more consistent? Is Sandström more than just a backup?

I think we burn one year of his ELC?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Kolosov is also Belarusian which isn’t much better but still doesn’t have a Russian passport.

 

[Curufinwe]

Which doesn’t matter because if he signed an ELC at age 22 if would be for 2 years.

 

[tnfrs]

Kolosov just got a shutout in his first start of the season

 

[scumpup]

We better get him. Kolosov + Ersson have the potential to get us cups at the end of our rebuild.

 

[deadhead]

I would think his ELC would slide a year in the KHL?
KHL is better league than AHL, so if he excels this season, it's straight to the Flyer roster next year.
Since he's not Russian, no question of military duty

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Kolosov is too old for his contract to slide (he’s 21, will turn 22 in January this year). So the Flyers are burning this year.

 

[yrmj3]

Shutout today, second in this season
