Despite joining their AHL team in 2023/24, it appears as though the Flyers are on the verge of losing yet another promising prospect.

The Philadelphia Flyers goaltending situation hasn't been going well in the past few years, so when Alexei Kolosov, a former third-round pick came to the AHL to join the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in 2023/24, confidence was high that he could be an NHLer of the future. Unfortunately, this off-season has been a backwards step for the talented prospect, as it has been revealed he has asked his KHL team, Dynamo Minsk to help him get out of his NHL contract to facilitate a return to Europe.

Alexei Kolosov asked Dinamo-Minsk to solve the issue with the termination of his contract in the NHL.

The 22-year old has spent the last five years with Dynamo Minsk in the KHL, with his final season seeing him post an impressive 2.39 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 47 games, before he eventually came to North America last season. He managed just two games in the KHL, going 1-1 and showing flashes of a future NHLer, but this summer report has been highly disappointing for the team.

Much like Evgeny Kuznetsov, it appears Kolosov has been homesick since arriving with the Flyers, and while he may still have a good future on the ice, this story away from the ice could certainly impact his future prospects in the NHL.
