Galchenyuk will arrive in familiar territory, as he played with these same Coyotes in 2018-2019. However, it's a whole new atmosphere in Arizona, whereas in the past, it was Rick Tocchet who led the team.
Despite this small point against Galchenyuk, Tocchet went on to talk about the skater's great qualities. He even hopes that the Coyotes will give him a second chance, because it would be a good "fit" for both sides.
This just confirms what we already knew, Alex Galchenyuk is not a center. He has the profile of a winger. He is not responsible enough defensively to play center and he is not able to feed his teammates consistently. A secondary role could be possible for him in Arizona. Will he be able to convince André Tourigny?
