The Arizona Coyotes placed forward Alex Galchenyuk on the unconditional waiver list with the goal of terminating his contract.
The move comes just 12 days after signing a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 at the NHL level and $225,000 at the minor league level. The club wrote in the announcement that it will not comment further on this move.
PHNX Sports’ Craig Morgan reports that the NHL is investigating the matter. ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski claims the Coyotes made the move after learning of an “off-ice matter” they were unaware of at the time of the signing.
Galchenyuk will become an unrestricted free agent after being on the waiver list.
The 29-year-old American played 11 games for the Avalanche last season without earning a point. He played the next 42 games for the Eagles in the AHL. In them he collected 42 points (16+26). In the past, he also played for the Canadiens, Coyotes, Penguins, Wild, Senators and Maple Leafs.
