I have no doubt that he'll get that and/or more in free agency, but I wouldn't even offer him a pay raise until he steps foot on the ice in a game to be honest. Not a lot to read out of practices that we aren't attending, and the media is going to nitpick at what he does on the ice, but nothing sounds like we are getting a 100% healthy Bolland back any time soon.
You wouldn't invest in a car without test driving it a few times, especially if it has been in a few accidents.

1 year deal?

Bolland seeking 7 or 8 yr #Leafs exten' that could max out over 40m. Is he worth it? Tune into HC @ noon for the latest. FAN590 @Sportsnet

I mean, I wouldn't put it past a NHL team to make that sort of offer but it'd be pretty hard to justify that from a production sense. Weiss had some legit years of 20 goals and 60 points when he was negotiating that. Bolland's never hit 50.

So more like what Bozak got then?

That strikes me as being closer to the mark but even then I'd be surprised if anyone signed Bolland with an eye to him being their first line center.

No. NO!
Even if this was just a starting point type request by his agent, if he came to me with those numbers I'd tell him to get the hell out of my office and then throw something at the back of his head while he was leaving.

This has to be for marketing the deadline. Absolutely ridiculous.
I guess next year Kadri + Bernier are going to demand 8 years for 49M.

Bolland could certainly argue a similar deal from a production standpoint - Bolland, 0.51 PPG career, Bozak, 0.60 PPG (difference of around 7/8 pts over 82 games), much more playoff experience (I think GMs value that) and putting up those comparable points with less ice-time and with less consistent ice-time with players of Kessel's calibre (he has played with Kane in the past). Both are same age.
Would seem to be a fair comparable for Bolland's camp to take, if they wanted to.
