Rostislav Olesz (born 10 October 1985) is a professional ice hockey left winger, currently playing for HC Vítkovice Steel of the Czech Extraliga. Olesz was originally drafted in the 1st round, 7th overall by the Florida Panthers in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
On 24 June 2011, Olesz was traded by the Florida Panthers to the Chicago Blackhawks for defenseman Brian Campbell.[1] On 17 November 2011, Olesz was assigned by the Blackhawks to their AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs, after clearing waivers.[2] On 28 June 2013, Olesz became an unrestricted free agent when the Blackhawks used one of their compliance buyouts on the remainder of his contract.[3]
Olesz quickly signed a one-year deal as a free agent with the New Jersey Devils on 5 July 2013.[4] Olesz made his Devils debut to begin the 2013-14 season, but sparingly played 10 games and registering only two assists before he was reassigned to AHL affiliate, the Albany Devils. After 5 games in the minors, Olesz was placed on unconditional waivers by the Devils, with the intention to mutually terminate his contract.[5] On 21 November, Olesz left North America and signed for the remainder of the season with the Swiss club SC Bern of the NLA.[6]
