On March 9, 2011, in a 4–3 shootout loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Bolland was on the receiving end of an elbow to the back of the head from Lightning' forward Pavel Kubina, resulting in a season-ending concussion for Bolland and a three-game suspension for Kubina. [10] After missing the last 14 games of the 2010–11 season and the first three games of the opening round of the 2011 playoffs due to this injury, Bolland would return for game four of the series on April 19 against the Presidents' Trophy-winning Vancouver Canucks, where he would record a goal and three assists on goals Duncan Keith, Bryan Bickell and Michael Frolík, respectively, for his first career four-point game as the Blackhawks would defeat the Canucks 7–2 to prevent the Blackhawks from getting swept out of the playoffs.

After missing all five games in the opening round against the eighth-seeded Wild, he returned to the Blackhawks line-up for the first game in the second round against the Detroit Red Wings. [13] After initially trailing 3–1 in the series, the Blackhawks would recover by winning the next three games to defeat the seventh-seeded Red Wings in seven games with Game seven being a 2–1 victory in overtime with Bolland recording an assist on the game and the series winning goal by Brent Seabrook.

On June 30, 2013, during the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, the Blackhawks traded Bolland to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a second-round and fourth-round pick in 2013 and a fourth in 2014. [15] [16]
On July 1, 2014, the Florida Panthers signed Bolland to a five-year, $27.5 million contract. [17] Over the next two seasons, Bolland appeared in just 78 of a possible 164 games due to injuries.
On August 25, 2016, the Panthers traded Bolland and Lawson Crouse to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for a 2017 conditional third-round pick and a 2018 conditional second-round pick. [18] However, he never played a game for the club.
