On July 1, 2007, Kalus was given by the Boston Bruins in exchange for a four-round vote for the 2009 NHL Entry Draft to the Minnesota Wild . In the following years he was only used for their AHL farm team Houston Eros . In the 2008/09 season , the left shooter also played for HK MWD Balaschicha in the newly founded Continental Hockey League , in which he prepared two goals in 17 games.

The Czech started the 2010/11 season with the Houston Eros in the AHL before he was transferred to the Columbus Blue Jackets from the NHL in March 2011 . They also turned him over to their AHL farm team Springfield Falcons for the rest of the season .
At the end of the season, his NHL contract ran out and Kalus received a trial contract with Jokerit Helsinki . For Jokerit, he played three games in the European Trophy 2011 , but was not given a place in the club's squad. In early September 2011, Kalus was signed by HC Slavia Prague from the Czech extra league. In mid-January 2012, his contract was terminated after he was no longer regularly used, and switched to the Elitserien to MODO Hockey .
