However, due to legal troubles, Chucky’ s contract was terminated by the Coyotes, making him a free agent. And not surprisingly, interest in North America was visibly slim.
That’s why he decided to play in the KHL with SKA St. Petersburg (Matvei Michkov’s team) this year.

It’s a good feeling, though.
Galchenyuk may be a step ahead of a lot of players in Russia, but we’re talking about a professional league with some excellent players. He’s one of the best field hockey players in the KHL, but it’s not like Connor McDavid is going to play in Ireland’s eighth division, for example.
He may never come back to play in North America, but if he finds his feet in Russia, that’s no bad thing either.
In gusto
– CH prospect Filip Eriksson scored his first professional goal today.
– Yes, he did.
It’s a tough one in Toronto. https://t.co/5iA3ufZOUq
