Shanahan wants Leafs to sign Bolland

The Toronto Sun notes that as part of Brendan Shanahan's multitude of comments Wednesday, he offered this on Leafs forward and unrestricted free agent Dave Bolland.

“I’d like to get him signed,” Shanahan said. “He’s the type of player I like, the type of player we need.

“This is a guy we want to have back. Dave knows I want him back. But any time you are a UFA, there are other factors involved.

“He’s got to want to play for us, as well.”

Anton Thun, Bolland's agent, told The Sun this Wednesday night:

“I’m pleased that Shanny would say something like that,” Thun said. “David has said all along that Toronto definitely is a consideration.

“At the same time ,there are other considerations involved here — things such as market value along with other factors.”
