Latest On David Kampf
Veteran center David Kampf has temporarily stepped away from the AHL's Toronto Marlies to evaluate his career options. During the offseason, the Maple Leafs sought to trade Kampf, but no deal was made. Consequently, he was waived during training camp, went unclaimed, and was assigned to the Marlies.
Brad Treliving, the GM, signed the 30-year-old to a four-year, $9.6 million contract just over two years ago, so this situation was unexpected. Initially, Kampf was meant to lead the fourth line, excelling in faceoffs and penalty kills, but his role diminished last season under coach Craig Berube. Now, lower-cost players occupy his former roster spot.
This season, Kampf appeared in only four of seven Marlies games before taking a few days off to consider his future, including missing a road game in Chicago. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported this development.
"The veteran is taking a couple of days to ponder his future."
Recently, some players have left guaranteed contracts seeking better NHL opportunities or a return to the league — such as Conor Sheary, Brandon Saad, and Filip Zadina. Kampf may be considering a similar path despite the financial loss, which exceeds $3 million from this season's salary, next season's salary, and signing bonus.
Summary
David Kampf is reassessing his hockey career after being waived and reassigned, weighing the potential loss of millions against prospects of improving his NHL situation.
