Bolland to retire … Frolik unlikely to be back … Looke back to Sweden
Craig Morgan of The Athletic: Dave Bolland‘s contract will finally come off the Arizona Coyotes books and he’ll be retiring.
“I’ll have to speak to my agent because I don’t think I’ve talked to him in about three years, but I’ll be retiring officially,” Bolland said. “I really enjoyed my career and there were obviously some high points when you win two Cups. The first year I was out it was tough and the second year I was still trying to figure everything out — what I was going to be doing – but I came to terms with it about a year and a half ago that it was done. I won’t be coming back.”
The Coyotes are not expected to re-sign unrestricted free agent Richard Panik.
Coyotes Jens Looke cleared unconditional waivers and is heading back to Sweden.
