Just 12 days following the completion of his contract with the Arizona Coyotes, Alex Galchenyuk has been placed on unconditional waivers. This decision comes shortly after his recent arrest for multiple charges, including private property hit-and-run, disorderly conduct, failure to obey, resisting arrest, and threatening or intimidating. Galchenyuk was taken into custody on misdemeanor charges and released from the Scottsdale city jail the following day.
It is worth noting that the hit-and-run incident resulted in property damage only, with no reported injuries. In a statement released by the team, the Arizona Coyotes announced that they have placed Galchenyuk on unconditional waivers with the intention of terminating his contract. The team has chosen not to comment further on the matter at this time. The NHL Players Association has stated that they are currently reviewing the situation.
Galchenyuk’s contract with the Coyotes was a one-year deal worth $775,000, marking his third stint with the organization. He previously played for the Coyotes in the 2018-2019 and 2021-2022 seasons. Prior to his time with the Coyotes, Galchenyuk spent his first six seasons in the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens, who selected him with the third overall pick in the 2012 NHL Draft.
Over the past five seasons, Galchenyuk has played for multiple teams, including the Pittsburgh Penguins, Minnesota Wild, Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Colorado Avalanche. He has also spent time with two AHL teams.
