Kotalik happy to be back with Sabres

Ales Kotalik had just about had enough. Two seasons of pain and disappointing play were leading to a demotion from the NHL.

Kotalik ultimately decided to accept January's demotion to the Calgary Flames' affiliate of Abbotsford...

Kotalik Update

From Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants: Haven’t heard back from Ales Kotalik’s agent, Larry Kelly, but it’s becoming clear that one of the hold-ups to this deal, if not the main one, is Kotalik taking his time weighing his options as he has a limited no-trade clause in his three-year, $9 million deal.
