Galchenyuk's NHL career appears to be over less than 2 weeks after signing new contract

The Arizona Coyotes have terminated the contract of veteran NHL forward Alex Galchenyuk... just 12 days after signing it themselves.

In a cryptic message to social media the team has said it will have 'no further comment' on the transaction.

Galchenyuk was re-acquired by the Coyotes on the opening day of free agency after failing to come to terms with the Nashville Predators, who received him in their salary cap dump trade featuring Ryan Johansen. Now Galchenyuk hits the open market as a free agent yet again, but you have to wonder if this is the end for the former 3rd overall pick.

Clearly there's something fishy going on with Galchenyuk given the Coyotes' statement, but we can only speculate as to what's happening behind the scenes. It's not exactly a secret though that Galchenyuk has bounced around the league over the course of his career. In fact, the 29 year old has played for seven NHL teams in his career, and has failed to remain on any team's roster for more than a season in the past five years. This guy bounces around more than a ping pong ball...
