Bolland has had issues with a cranky back, and never slotted as better than a #3 Center on the 'Hawks. Great Heart, but rotten in the dot. $3.375 million for a #3/4 center was gonna be hard to fit under a shrinking cap.
Loved what he had done for my guys, but, with the injury time piling up, and limited offensive development, my feeling is that the Leafs overpaid.
