Aleš Kotalík (born 23 December 1978) is a professional ice hockey right winger playing for HC Mountfield České Budějovice of the Czech Extraliga. ==Playing career== Kotalík was drafted 164th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft. In the 2005–06 NHL season, he had a career high in 25 goals, 37 assists and 62 points. The recent 2006–07 NHL season he was 5 for 7 in shootouts and second in the NHL with four shootout deciding goals. He was out for 16 games because of an injured right knee. In the Calgary Flames All-Star games, he showed his ability to strike hard with a slap shot speed of 105.3 being the second hardest shooter in the NHL. On March 4, 2009, Kotalík was traded by the Sabres to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a 2nd round pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Kotalík finished the season in Edmonton before being signed as a free agent by the New York Rangers on July 9, 2009 to a three-year, $9 million contract. Due to his lack of goal scoring production, which he was expected to bring and being a healthy scratch for numerous games, he was traded on February 1, 2010 to the Calgary Flames along with Christopher Higgins in exchange for Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust. Placed on waivers in the off-season by the Calgary Flames, Kotalik cleared waivers on June 29, 2010. At the time, he had two years and $6 million remaining on his contract. On January 27, 2011 he was placed back on waivers by the Flames and subsequently assigned to the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League. On June 25, along with Robyn Regehr and a second round 2012 draft pick, Kotalik was traded back to the Sabres for Paul Byron and Chris Butler.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=369971 )〕 On September 24, 2011 Kotalik was placed on waivers by the Buffalo Sabres in a salary cap move. After initially reporting to the Rochester Americans, Kotalik instead returned to his hometown in the Czech Republic to play for HC Mountfield České Budějovice.〔Hamilton, Paul.
