Can't wait to see what the kid can do.

 

[Curufinwe]

Another Fletcher draft pick on the way.

Hope to see him soon! Has to be better than the current back up options...

 

[BritainStix]

I'm so excited about this kid. I really hope he can backfill the hole left by Hart.

 

[Rebels57]

Hopefully Kolosov makes it onto the plane before getting detained.

He is very lucky to be Belarusian.

Are the Flyers totally out on the 6'8 Russian that should be here?

I think it's best if we just let it go at this point. If anything, I think he'll be on Russia radar for the rest of his career, using any means to keep him.

Maybe Sandstrom will come down with a sudden injury and they can call this kid up.

Russia will be done with him soon enough, he just won't be able to play in the NHL if he still wants to unless the Flyers say so. His contract is still registered with the league.

Is the NHL actually going to care that the KHL violated their agreement together? Or are they just going to turn their back and pretend nothing ever happened.

 

[3mFlyers]

If he can leave Russia he better be a Flyer!

Not much they can do without a transfer agreement. The only thing they could really do is ban Russians and Belarusians from entering the league, and that isn’t happening.

It would be very ironic if the NHL did ban Russians from entering the league, thereby keeping the Flyers from signing Michkov.
