While there appears to be mutual interest between Dave Bolland and the Maple Leafs in regards to extending his stay in Toronto, the forward appears set to test the market if a deal can't be reached prior to July 1.

Jonas Siegel of TSN reports talks are ongoing between the two sides, but, despite his desire to continue to play down the street from home town Mimico, ON, the 28-year-old is more than willing to explore his options should the two sides remain at a stalemate once the free agency period begins.

Bolland is believed to be seeking a deal worth upwards of $5-million, a number Toronto appears reluctant to offer.
