AHL reporter Tony Androckitis explained in detail why Kolosov has had it with the Flyers. He says that Kolosov was left all alone in a hotel room in a foreign country with no one to talk to for most of the day, and on a regular basis. Kolosov already struggles speaking English, so this was likely the final straw for him.
All of that isolation, combined with the lack of English, and the fact that he had to watch the Flyers sign another goalie, Ivan Fedotov, to an NHL contract immediately upon his North American arrival was simply all too much for Kolosov, and he officially wants out of the franchise.
The Flyers don't appear to have handled this situation correctly, and it may have just cost them one of the better goalies of the future.
