Chayka: Bolland won't be healthy for 'foreseeable future'

Dave Bolland's albatross contract now resides in Arizona, but his person doesn't necessarily have to.

Shortly after acquiring Bolland along with Lawson Crouse for a pair of draft picks, Coyotes GM John Chakya confirmed that the veteran won't be ready to play for the "foreseeable future."

Bolland dealt with back and ankle issues last season.

For now, Arizona has inappreciable room under the salary cap, with Tobias Rieder still unsigned after the team took on another salary dump.

The club will, however, gain flexibility when Bolland's shifted to long-term injured reserve.
