According to the same source, the 30-year-old has not received any one-way contract offers from NHL teams. Moreover, the deadline to make use of the said out-clause was already set for June 30, last month.

Cervenka played for Piràti Chomoutov in the Czech league last season, for which he put up 26 goals and 44 assists in 57 games. His contract with Gottéron will be valid until the end of the 2016-17 season. (rlu)
