Flyers’ General Manager Danny Briere held his annual Rookie and Training Camp press conference today. Here are the notes from today’s presser, and yes Alexei Kolosov will not report.
- As Danny Briere has said in prior press conferences. The Flyers will not loan Alexei Kolosov back to the KHL or Dinamo. They hope he changes his mind and comes to North America.
- Danny Briere praised the coaching staff, and staff of Lehigh Valley for doing their very best with Alexei Kolosov last season.
- Alexei Kolosov is no longer on the Flyers training camp roster, as expected. Kolosov wanted a guaranteed NHL spot, to which the Flyers could not accommodate. Briere did say they have to move on from him, with the hopes of him changing his mind.
- Briere said that Ryan Johansen’s contract was officially terminated after he cleared waivers. If Johansen’s camp wants to file a grievance, they can.
- Briere said the Flyers may very well carry eight defensemen on the roster for opening night. He also did not close the door on Oliver Bonk getting a nine game tryout.
- Briere said all the roster players, including Rasmus Ristolainen, Jamie Drysdale, and Sean Couturier are healthy leading into training camp.

The main thing about the training camp roster is that Alexei Kolosov is not on the roster, as expected. It also features a newly signed PTO Eetu Makiniemi. The subtraction of Kolosov is one main reason the Flyers added Makiniemi into the fold.
