Galchenyuk was arrested Sunday on a number of charges, Katie Strang of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk is accused of private property hit and run, disorderly conduct, failure to obey, resisting arrest and threatening or intimidating. Strang adds there were no injuries stemming from the hit and run incident and that Galchenyuk was arraigned Monday. Galchenyuk's next pre-trial conference is August 11. The Coyotes unconditionally waived the forward Thursday without commenting on his situation, and he will likely remain unattached to any NHL club while going through the legal process.

Galchenyuk was put on unconditional waivers by Arizona on Thursday for the purpose of terminating his contract.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk signed a one-year, two-way contract with Arizona on July 1, so it's odd to see the Coyotes already parting ways with him. Arizona offered no explanation for its decision, instead saying the team "will have no further comment at this time." Galchenyuk had no points, four PIM, eight shots and 10 hits in 11 contests with Colorado in 2022-23. He also accumulated 25 goals and 62 points in 132 outings over two separate stints with Arizona. If the 29-year-old clears waivers, he will once again become an unrestricted free agent.

EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk played only 11 NHL games last season and was unable to hit the scoresheet. The third overall selection in 2012, Galchenyuk has had a disappointing NHL career, picking up only 58 points over the last four seasons. He is a depth player at best at this point in his career.
