Philadelphia Flyers' bad treatment of top prospect leads him to leave the team
Philadelphia Flyers prospect Alexei Kolosov has left the team to return to Russia, and the reasons why are quite shocking. Kolosov was drafted in the 3rd round, 78th overall by the Flyers in 2021. There was a legit amount of hype around him after he put up very respectable numbers in the KHL as an 18-year-old. Even this season he had solid numbers in the top Russian league before he came over to join the Flyers organization. However, he apparently was not very happy about how the short stint with the team went as he got into just two games with the AHL Lehigh Valley. He says that the Flyers isolated him by putting him up in a hotel by himself when he got to North America.
