Former Montreal Canadiens forward Alex Galchenyuk is experiencing a nightmare July. On July 9th, he was arrested by the Scottsdale police and is now facing charges of hit and run, disorderly conduct, refusal to obey, resisting arrest, and threats and intimidation.
Adding to his troubles, the Arizona Coyotes' management decided to terminate his one-season contract that he had signed just twelve days earlier, making him an unrestricted free agent.
To make matters worse, the Journal de Montreal has just revealed significant information about the 3rd overall pick in the 2012 draft, stating that Galchenyuk is being sued by the National Bank for an amount exceeding $400,000.
The reason? Alex Galchenyuk allegedly did not adhere to payment agreements regarding a $300,000 loan he had taken from the National Bank during his time with the Montreal Canadiens (2014). Indeed, the downfall continues for the forward who was once considered a future star player in the NHL.
