Maple Leafs continuing to explore trade market for Robertson, Kampf

Maple Leafs Explore Trade Options for Robertson and Kampf

The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to investigate potential trades involving forwards Nick Robertson and David Kampf, reports TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger.

Nick Robertson's Season Performance

Robertson has scored two goals and gathered four points over 10 games this season. His role has fluctuated, including time on the top line and periods as a healthy scratch. Recently, he logged a season-high 17:22 of ice time during a heavy loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets, starting alongside Auston Matthews and Bobby McMann, due to William Nylander's injury absence.

David Kampf's Situation

Kampf was waived before the season and has played four games with the AHL's Toronto Marlies, recording one assist. At 30 years old, his cap hit is $2.4 million through the next season, but only $1.25 million counts against the Leafs' cap while he is in the AHL.

Darren Dreger on Trade Possibilities

“We know that GM Brad Treliving continues to explore the idea of moving both David Kampf and Nick Robertson. Now, the veteran David Kampf, who’s in the American Hockey League, it’s more about just getting off the money. For Nick Robertson, this guy is a bottom-six, he’s a top-six, he’s in the press box, he’s scoring goals. He’s a young guy who the Toronto Maple Leafs have time for and they are in no rush to move him out. If they were to get the right sort of return for Nick Robertson, it would be a player of a similar age."

Summary

The Maple Leafs remain open to trades involving Robertson and Kampf but prioritize getting fair value for Robertson and reducing salary cap impact for Kampf.
