The Philadelphia Flyers have taken some significant steps in their roster management, loaning goaltender Aleksei Kolosov and forward Olle Lycksell to the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms while recalling Anthony Richard. This decision comes amid a crowded goaltending situation, where Kolosov has been vying for ice time with Sam Ersson and Ivan Fedotov. Coach John Tortorella confirmed Ersson's status as the starting goaltender, which has left Kolosov seeking more game time. Rumors suggested that if his situation did not improve, he might prefer a return to Belarus to play in the KHL. Flyers GM Danny Briere downplayed concerns, stating Kolosov should be fine with the loan to the AHL.
