Contract Termination: [ARI] F Alex Galchenyuk (arrested July 9th)

[Silky mitts]

Signed with SKA of the KHL.

I want a track suit like the guy on the right except with my initials instead of CKA

Kind of crazy that not a single player from the top 4 of the 2012 draft will be in the NHL by the age of 30

drafting is tough. you could argue there were 6 busts in the top 10 that year, and then every player but two from 11-20 has at least 500 games and one of the two exceptions is vasilevsky.

#2 got injured out of relevance.

#3 should have had his father interviewed and also injuries + poor management.

#4 was always a reach.

I assumed they were talking in the context of him leaving the country in the midst of legal troubles. Seems like he'd have a not great time to look forward to if/when he does return.

Yes, that is what I meant, sorry for my lack of clarification.

Not a great draft year for sure. Didn't realize that one of the Devils' off-season acquisitions, Chris Tierney, has played almost 600 NHL games.

It was funny on After The Whistle they had Tim Connelly on their show recently. Other than the Sedin twins and a few others almost the entire first round of the 1999 draft was forgettable. Though Zetterberg was taken in the seventh round and as of last season goalie Craig Anderson was still playing.

 

[Belial]

A great mentor for Michkov.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Alex Galchenyuk opened up the season with St. Petersburg as their 1C, while highly regarded prospect Matvei Michkov was a healthy scratch.

 

[TheLegend]

He was convicted of a crime and received a sentence. It seems like he might be 'defecting' to Russia for the time being and avoiding that, thats what the poster was likely referring to

Just for context….

All but one of the charges were dismissed. Pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor threatening charge.

Yeah it’ll be interesting to see if he abides by and completes his sentencing or just stays in Russia. He technically got 30 days in jail but 27 of them will be suspended and (he served one day already when he was arrested, so 2 days) if he completes rehab, then he just has to stay sober for a year.

More than likely competed the 2 days before heading to the KHL.

Will be interesting how they monitor the non-contact with alcohol condition. It isn’t difficult to get around it in Arizona.

Why does thread title say “ARI”?

Why does thread title say “ARI”?

Because you can’t spell Arizona without “ARI”

I try not to be a grammar Nazi but you’re pretty far off the mark; SKA Saint Petersburg

Just before the ARI, it says contract termination. Unless I missed something the SKA didn't terminate his contract, at least not yet.

You’re right. They should scrap the whole thread title.

New video up of his arrest, yeah i think the dude is not only drunk, looks like some PCP weird shit to me.

Profanity-filled video captures former Arizona Coyotes player threatening Scottsdale officers during arrest

Police body-cam shows Alexander Galchenyuk Jr, telling Scottsdale officers "I will end your bloodline," as he was being arrested for driving drunk.

Very fitting to play in Russia for bloodmoney if you ask me, might get a real chance of ending bloodlines in the offseason too!

 

[Divine]

Yeah, after seeing the video I see why Arizona had to terminate the contract

Warning - it’s quite vulgar.

 

[EXTRAS]

Holy shit he should be in jail.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Lol this guy should do standup. Embarrassing as f***

 

[bobbythebrain]

He woke up that day quick, at about noon, cuz he thought he had to be in Compton soon. He decides to get drunk before the day began, before his mother started bitchin about his friends. Unfortunately he got pulled over cruisin down the street in his six fo

 

[Petey O]

Holy shit he should be in jail.

Because he didn't have an N-word pass?

RAW: Ex-Coyotes player threatens Scottsdale cops during DUI arrest

Scottsdale Police found Alexander Galchenyuk Jr. sitting in the passenger seat of a BMW drunk after being involved in a hit-and-run crash on July 9 near Shea Boulevard and Scottsdale Road.

There's a whole 38 minute video.

I mean, even drunk and given the circumstances, it's such an extreme reaction, and half the shit he said didn't even make sense, and the rest unhinged. He is mentally unwell, or maybe he's just an asshole, or a mix of both.

He deserves consequences but I also hope he becomes better.

Watching character was Timmins Achilles heel

Leave bolognese out of this!

 

[HolyGhost]

Wow that police video. The boy needs help

 

[V13]

As an Habs fan watching Galchenyuk rise and fall was like watching the Star Wars prequels. At some point Chucky was the Chosen One of the Habs Organization but then got burnt by the expectations and slowly began to turn into a full blown villain.

 

[Chuck Downie]

He has a filthy mouth. Gross.

 

[Ulysses31]

cant watch but feel bad for the guy
