In Danny Briere’s press conference Tuesday, there were a few notable quotes – and an official confirmation of his absence – regarding Belarusian goaltender Alexei Kolosov.
Among them, a particularly important one: “On his end, it’s more that he wants to be guaranteed a spot in the NHL, if not, he prefers to stay over there. And that’s not the way we see it. We agreed last year to loan him back for one year because he wanted to stay home, but at some point, you signed a contract. We want him here, we want him to start integrating himself to the game and the way it’s played here in North America.
