Dramatic turn of events: the Coyotes terminate Alex Galchenyuk's contract 12 days after signing it
Wow. The Coyotes just terminated Alex Galchenyuk's contract less than 12 days after signing it.
Indeed, let's remember that on July 1st, the Coyotes announced the signing of Galchenyuk to a one-year contract with a total value of $775,000.
Clearly, something has happened, but the team doesn't want to provide more details at the moment.
The Arizona Coyotes have placed forward Alex Galchenyuk on unconditional waivers for purposes of terminating his contract.�The Club will have no further comment at this time.
You can imagine that this is causing a huge reaction and raising many questions.
Galchenyuk, 29, was a first-round pick (3rd overall) by the Montreal Canadiens in 2012. Last season, he scored no points in 11 games with the Colorado Avalanche, and 42 points in 42 games for the Colorado Eagles (AHL).
