Stop re-signing everybody. The guy is injury prone, I don't want him here.

5 years / 17.5m

Would you do it?

Bolland makes $3.35 mil now and about to test free agency.

I'm guessing he thinks he can get more than a $150k per season raise on his next contract.

 

[Guy Boucher]

5 years ago? Absolutely.

Today? No. He's body is broken down. He's only a 4th liner on a good team.

 

[DaveT83*]

An incredibly ineffective, small 4th liner - on an already incredibly ineffective small forward corp/team.


No Thanks.

 

[Number13]

Nope, he'd clearly lost a step after his injury. It's time to give the kids a chance.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

On a short term deal I would. On a 5 year deal like you propose I wouldn't.

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

On a one year deal I would not be against resigning Bolland. He can use the season to up his value after the injury and we can trade him at the TDL for a nice return.

why would he do this or anything mentioned in this thread?

I don't think I want Bolland at any price (unless he's fine playing on the 4th line)

but at that price... it would certainly be worth considering.

he was very good before he got injured.... the question is if he can ever get back to where he was. even if he comes close, 3.5 would be a pretty good deal.

i just don't think he'll ever get back to where he was after missing all that time.

i'm all for letting the kids play, but other than Holland, we don't really have anyone else who I think could be an NHL center within the next couple years. I suppose Gauthier could be an NHL center at some point... but that could be 3 years away and it's possible he may never even make the NHL.

but right now, we've got Bozak, Kadri and Holland as our centers... and I'll take those three players over Bolland right now. So if we sign Bolland, that would probably mean getting rid of one of those three. Maybe Kadri or Holland would want to play on the wing.

but ya... the point is that bolland isn't signing for only 3.5.... and if the price is any higher, than it's not even worth considering.

I love Bolland, but I'm not ready for that commitment.

 

[Diatomic]

Hell no. Another lupul lol...

I just don't see any team offering him 4m/year when he's never scored 20 goals in a season before.

maybe a team like florida would if they want to get over the cap floor (+ tallon connection?)

1 year at $3.5M, sure, why not. If he can stay healthy, and contribute next season, then, we can evaluate whether or not to sign him long term after next season.

 

[Darkside Blue]

Hell no. Another lupul lol...

Not quite. Bolland will play defense.

Bolland is not Clarkson! He can play on the 3rd line, and, even the 2nd line in a pinch!

 

[Incetardis]

If you can get him to sign at 3.5 you'd be crazy not to but all reports indicate he's looking for closer to 5. Way too much but wouldn't be surprised if he gets it

 

[Raym11]

yeah hes gonna get atleast Clarkson money from us

 

[BM14]

No. A guy on my hockey team went to HS with him and he apparently hated Toronto then. So........he can go **** himself. I have no reason not to belive the guy. I don't care for players who don't want to play for the logo.

 

[pucci2001]

Hell no. The last thing this team needs is more long term contracts for people that aren't actually key members of the team. Bolland could barely skate when he came back. I'd give him a 1 yr deal worth 3 mil anything more and he can go rip someone else off.

I remember high school. I thought Nirvana was god and ripped jeans would never go out of style. Funny how things change. Not to mention the validity of your comment in the first place.

 

[RadekBong]

If you don't lace them up the second the doctors clear you to play you can GTFO.

 

[-DeMo-]

why would anyone want to give Bolland more then a 2 year deal with his injury history is beyond me.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

nah, he's too injury prone. i'd welcome him back on a 1 yr deal though.
