The New York Rangers continued to bolster their offense by signing free-agent forward Ales Kotalik on Thursday.
According to TSN, the contract will pay Kotalik $3 million a season for three seasons.
The 6-foot-1, 227-pound right wing had 20 goals and 43 points in 75 games with the Buffalo Sabres and the Edmonton Oilers last season.
"Ales is a strong, hard-working player with good skating ability and a heavy shot,” Rangers GM Glen Sather said. “We think he will fit well into our system and will provide additional offense and scoring from the wing position."
A sixth-round pick of the Sabres in the 1998 Entry Draft, the 30-year-old native of Jindr Hradec, Czech Republic has 121 goals and 251 points in 445 NHL games.
