Galchenyuk was put on waivers Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk is still projected to be in the lineup Monday against Philadelphia, but he could be sent to AHL Colorado on Tuesday if he clears. A potential demotion would bode well for the availability of Artturi Lehkonen (upper body) and/or Valeri Nichushkin (ankle). Galchenyuk has two shots on goal, two blocks and one hit in three games with the Avalanche this year.

Galchenyuk had one blocked shot and finished minus-2 over 13:42 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk was called up from AHL Colorado and made his Avalanche debut. The 28-year-old forward skated on the third line and was part of the second-unit power play. He should continue on in the lineup as Colorado has another three stops on its road trip. The next destination is Buffalo for a Thursday meeting with the Sabres.

Galchenyuk skated on the third line during Monday's practice, Brennan Vogt of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk, who was working on a player tryout at AHL Colorado, was signed by the Avalanche and added to the NHL roster Monday. The 28-year-old veteran had seven points over seven games with the Eagles and will help a roster that's been hit hard by injuries. In addition to the injuries, the Avs cycled several younger bodies between the AHL and NHL, looking for someone to stick and provide scoring depth. Galchenyuk was on a line with Alex Newhook and Jean-Luc Foudy.

Galchenyuk signed a one-year, $750,000 contract with Colorado on Monday, TSN's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis

Galchenyuk has a goal, three assists and 17 shots over five games for AHL Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk's lone tally was a sleek overtime winner for the Eagles on Friday. He spent the preseason on a tryout with the Avalanche but was released after suffering an injury. Once healthy, he hooked on with the Eagles earlier this month and is developing into a potential call-up for Colorado, which has experienced a number of injuries.

Galchenyuk signed a minor-league contract with AHL Colorado on Thursday, TSN's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk was with the Avalanche on a professional tryout agreement during camp before suffering an injury that led to his release. The 28-year-old winger will once again have to start from scratch to prove to team brass that he still has something left in the tank and deserves a contract. Until he actually signs an NHL deal, which could be with any team, Galchenyuk won't be eligible to be recalled from the minors.

The Avalanche released Galchenyuk from his professional tryout offer Wednesday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
At this stage in the preseason, it seems unlikely that another NHL organization will kick the tires on Galchenyuk, who may need to head overseas in order to continue his playing career. The third overall pick from the 2012 Entry Draft picked up six goals and 21 points through 60 games with the Coyotes last campaign.

Galchenyuk signed a professional tryout offer with the Avalanche on Tuesday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Galchenyuk drew into 60 games with Arizona last season, picking up six goals and 21 points while averaging 13:09 of ice time per contest. If he's able to land a contract with Colorado, he'll likely have to settle for a rotational, bottom-six role.
