Agent: Bolland, Leafs 'significantly apart' on contract

The Toronto Sun reports there have been no contract talks between Dave Bolland's agent, Anton Thun, and Leafs management, since early February.

“Nothing is happening right now,” Thun said. “We exchanged proposals prior to the Olympics and we were significantly apart.”

Bolland is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this summer as his five-year, $16.875 million contract ($3.375 million AAV) expires.

Is there a temptation to test free agent waters July 1?

“For sure,” Thun said. “But right now, the plan is very simple. Dave wants to try to help the Leafs make the playoffs and then we will play it by ear. David will play hard — if they make playoffs, great, if they don’t, then we will sit down and assess things at the end of the year.”
