Radek Bonk (born January 9, 1976, in Krnov, Czechoslovakia) is a professional ice hockey center in the NHL for the Nashville Predators. He was drafted third overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. He spent time in Europe as well as in the IHL before becoming an NHL regular. He went on to play for the Senators for 10 seasons, eventually becoming the team’s top center. A skilled player, he was often criticized in the Ottawa media for his lack of aggression, despite his size. On the day of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings for a third round draft pick. The same day, Bonk was traded to the Montreal Canadiens with Cristobal Huet for Mathieu Garon and a third round selection. His most productive season points-wise was the 2001-2002 season when he had 70 points. Bonk wears number 14 on his jersey.

SLAM! HOCKEY: RADEK BONK (148 words)
Big things were expected from Radek Bonk when he joined the organization in the 1994-95 season, but he's been a huge disappointment since signing as a rookie from the International Hockey League's Las Vegas Thunder.
Bonk scored a respectable 16 goals and added 19 assists in 76 games during his 1994-95 rookie season, but has followed with porous seasons of 18 and 16 points in 1996-97 and 1997-98 respectively.
Bonk was selected third-overall (behind Ed Jovanovski and Oleg Tverdovsky) in the 1994 entry draft.
