Not at all. There is no hate there. Some competitor's have a mutual respect. Bolland would be a good fit. Just my opinion but Bolland minus the injuries is a great team guy and would fit role on a line with Burrow's and potentially revitalize his career.

But is he worth the 5 mill + that he's apparently asking for? Most Leaf fans are willing to see him leave for those demands.

The Bolland camp won't do anything with Vancouver until they resolve the Ryan Kesler situation.
- Canuckleafer

So News1130 is reporting this? What's their track record? And according to that statement he either really hates Kesler(but is cool with Bieksa and Burrows) or wants to be a #2 center.....

Haha, Bolland calling the shots now. If I was Benning, I'd tell him to mind his own sh!t.

It's an AM news station - I'd wait to see it from another source. They're usually 1 step ahead of Ek.

He wants to be a #2 somewhere. He looked good in TO before the injury, but hasn't done enough to prove he's a #2 or that he's worth 5 mill/season.

In that case, here's to hoping they never resolve the Ryan Kesler situation.

I know having a good 3rd line is important in the playoffs, but having 4 of them is a bit much don't you think?

There is absolutely no way I'd trade the 5th and 6th in the draft for the 1st.

This. I think Kesler is gone soon. Total non issue for Bolland. I think if Bolland's issue is not the money he is asking for he wants top minutes against other top lines. I don't see it with the Leafs. His game would do well out west.

The word in TO is that he's looking for 5 mil per season, 6 years.

Benning has said he wants 4 lines that can produce. You don't win the Stanley cup with 2 lines if one of those 2 lines is off you want to be able to run with your 3rd or 4th. Laugh it up but we are not going to win if we expect the Sedin line to carry us.

Your right that is too much.

Sadly, I can see him getting it somewhere. Lots of terrible FA signings last year. Edmonton over-payed today.

If Canucks are retaining salary it better be a top flight prospect plus 2+ 1st rounders and probably more coming back.

News 11:30 twitter is pretty legit. I'd characterize them more like a beat writer, and definitely not like Ek who just makes poop up. They typically report what they are hearing from people not stuff like Miller to Canucks e3.
Eitherway another tweet that wasn't mentioned here:

Bolland to Vancouver would be a disaster on a whole bunch in different levels.

The contract being the biggest one.


I know secretly Vantel wants a Marchand-Bolland-Burrows line though.
