His contract was originally valued at $9,000,000 with an annual cap hit of $3,000,000 beginning in 2009 and ending in 2012. The following is a season-by-season breakdown of the buyout. A negative buyout cap hit number indicates a credit.

2010-2011: $1,000,000
2011-2012: $1,000,000
2012-2013: $1,000,000
2013-2014: $1,000,000
Interesting times lay ahead for the Flames. How dealing Olli Jokinen’s expiring contract & cap space for Kotalik, only to buy him out makes sense is anyone’s guess. Personally, I was hoping they’d loan him to a KHL team and get him off the books completely!
