A short time after he was unceremoniously removed from his NHL team and subsequently the league, SKA St. Petersburg quickly signed Alex Galchenyuk to their team.
It was only a matter of time before he would be taking over Matvei Michkov's place in the lineup, as it was Michkov who would be scratched and demoted regularly.
Galchenyuk has 0 goals, 2 assists through 6 games and is a -5.
His ice time has already steadily decreased and he was stapled to the bench for all but 3 minutes in his last game.
Analysts say he's out of shape, and the effort is not there at all.
