The Toronto Maple Leafs and center Dave Bolland remain apart in contract negotiations, as the both sides look to reach a resolution to keep the hometown boy in the blue and white.

This from Bolland's agent, Anton Thun, on the state of the contract negotiations, via Sportsnet:

Our position hasn’t changed a whole heck of a lot. ... At this time it’s just not coming together. We can’t force the Leafs to accept our terms.

Bolland is coming off a season in which he was limited to just 23 games after suffering a severed tendon on the outside of his left ankle.

The 28-year-old made $3.375-million last season. Given the state of the market for centers, Bolland would likely command a raise as a free agent.
