Maple Leafs Suspend David Kampf Without Pay After Leaving Toronto Marlies
An important update has emerged regarding David Kampf and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The team has suspended Kampf without pay following his departure from the Toronto Marlies, their AHL affiliate.
Insight from NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman
“I don’t know exactly what was said…but Kampf did leave players with the Marlies [Leafs’ AHL affiliate] with the impression that he was going to terminate his contract.”
Friedman has been closely following this situation and noted that a contract termination remains a strong possibility. Such an outcome could bring a resolution to the ongoing saga.
Financial Implications of the Suspension
According to Puckpedia, the suspension allows the Maple Leafs to avoid the salary cap hit associated with Kampf playing in the AHL. This decision could save the team $1.25 million for the current season and $1.75 million for the following season.
Possible Resolutions: Contract Termination or Trade
- If the contract is terminated, both sides part ways without obligations, freeing Kampf to sign with another NHL team.
- A trade remains a possibility, though it appears quite unlikely at this point.
Future Options for Kampf
Should his contract be terminated, Kampf would have the chance to find a new team and attempt to recoup lost earnings by signing elsewhere in the NHL.
Summary
The Maple Leafs’ suspension of David Kampf without pay after his exit from their AHL team signals potential contract termination, aiming to save salary cap space and allow Kampf to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
