Plum Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Wouldn't mind a Kesler for Sharp swap and then do: Sedins - Burrows Sharp - Bolland - Trade/FA Higgins - Santorelli - Kassian Matthias - Richardson - Hansen Hamhuis - Tanev Garrison - Bieksa Stanton - Bieksa Lack Markstorm Doesn't look so bad if we can add another top 6 player to the right of Bolland? I know what Sharp's agent said but I just thought of this idea for the fun of it before the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedBlueAndGreen Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The money and term Bolland is after is absolutely staggering. No thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe you should add another player beside Bolland's name because he is generally only fit for half a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 @News1130Sports: The Bolland camp won't do anything with Vancouver until they resolve the Ryan Kesler situation. Well. Kesler trade is going to have a snowball effect. Hopefully it's positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar baby watermelon Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 No thanks, where does that give room for our youngsters to grow, Horvat should have that 3rd line spot and Bolland on the 2nd line would not be good enough in the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks35 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 This would be pretty sick for next year: D.Sedin-Stastny-Burr Vanek-H.Sedin-Kassian Santo-Boho-Jensen Etem-Matthias-Hansen Bieksa-Hammer Edler-Tanev Garrison-Tanev Hiller(4.5mill-2years)/or Johnson(1.5mill) Lack/or Markstrom Scratched: Richardson, Sestito, Weber I'll miss Kesler alot, but I've learned to deal with it since my favourite player was traded (Schneider) Oh and sorry Bolland , please come again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Bolland is 28 and my take is that he wants a shot at 2C. Also think that the Hawks were willing to let him go because his point production was not growing well enough. He does score big goals when it counts. Really funny if Van traded Kesler and then signed Bolland as a UFA. He is a Benning type player. Could he put up 50 - 60 points as a 2C? Possibly. Enhanced 3rd & 4th line would take pressure off the 1C & 2C. His money demand and contract duration is a non starter I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on Bolland wanting an opportunity to be a 2C, which is why they want Kesler to be dealt with before exploring anything further. I dont care for his offensive upside, but he's exactly the kind of player you want in the faces of Kings, Ducks, Sharks, Blues, and Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfstonker Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Bolland is never a 2nd C on a contending team. If we are giving up completely then why not give the youth an opportunity. The worst we could do is score a high pick in next year's draft. Bolland too injury prone, too expensive and not of a high enough quality or he would still be with the Hawks.

canucklehead44 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 He has never hit 20 goals or 50 points and has had considerable injury problems. He does have skill and grit but I wouldn't pay a penny over 4 years/4 million per. 5 million is crazy, especially over the 7+ years he was asking for. 5 million for one year maybe - at least he would have some value at the deadline if we miss the playoffs again.

Youth being injected into the lineup too quickly can ruin their development. Look at guys like Brule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Kevin McGran: Bolland’s agent, Thun: “Couple of teams have reached out, couple of surprises. We’re at least at half dozen. might go up to 8 or 9.” Darren Dreger: At least six teams were expected to talk with Dave Bolland’s agent, Anton Thun. He wants to stay but that is unlikely. Bolland is wanting a max deal of eight years at just under $5 million. Likely too much for the Maple Leafs. Sportsnet590 The Fan: Anton Thun on offers for Bolland: “If there’s a tie, it probably goes to the Leafs.” News 1130 Sports: The Canucks called and had general talks with agent for pending UFA Dave Bolland. Bolland’s side won’t do anything with the Canucks until they figure out the Ryan Kesler situation. Mark Spector: The consensus is that Bolland will get No. 2 money and a good term even though many don’t see him as a bonafide No. 2 center on a good team. Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun: As of yesterday, six teams have called on Bolland. “In all honesty, I don’t know (where Bolland will land),” Thun told Sportsnet Radio. “I’m going to continue to listen to general managers and continue to listen to the Leafs interest. If it comes together in terms of contract value and term and signing bonus and it’s to Dave’s liking, he’ll sign with Toronto.” Bolland could be looking for a deal in the seven year, $5 million range. The Leafs may be more interested in a five year deal around $4.2 million. “For sure the ball is in our court,” Bolland said. “When you go (unrestricted free agency) that’s when you can test the market and you can pick whatever team you want to go to. You can do whatever you want. It’s up to you. “Those are the options, but my (No. 1 option) is to be a Leaf.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
