In August, former 3rd overall pick Alex Galchenyuk was connected with a possible move that would see him sign with Spartak Moscow in the KHL, but those rumors have since fizzled.
The 29-year-old had signed a contract with Arizona Coyotes, but Galchenyuk had his contract terminated shortly after due to being arrested by Scottsdale Police. Galchenyuk faces changes of private property hit-and-run, disorderly conduct, failure to obey, resisting arrest and threatening or intimidating.
Galchenyuk issued an apology to everyone involved including the police officers and the Coyotes organization. Galchenyuk commited to enterinf the NHL/NHLPA Players Assistance Program, but it's unclear if he's still enrolled in the program.
