Maple Leafs Suspend David Kampf Without Pay Following Departure from Toronto Marlies
An intriguing turn has emerged in the David Kampf situation. The Toronto Maple Leafs have suspended him without pay after he left their AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies.
Insights from NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman
"I don’t know exactly what was said…but Kampf did leave players with the Marlies with the impression that he was going to terminate his contract."
Friedman has followed this story over the past week, indicating the possibility that Kampf's contract might ultimately be terminated.
Impact on the Maple Leafs' Salary Cap
According to Puckpedia, the suspension means the Maple Leafs no longer have his salary counted against their cap while he is away from the AHL. This move could save the team $1.25 million this season and $1.75 million in the following season.
Potential Outcomes for Kampf's Contract
- Contract Termination: Both the team and Kampf would part ways, freeing the Maple Leafs from his contract obligations and allowing Kampf to pursue a contract with another NHL team.
- Trade: Although less likely, a trade could resolve the situation differently.
This situation provides Kampf the chance to regain lost opportunities elsewhere in the league.
Reports suggest David Kampf is stepping away from the Maple Leafs.
Author’s summary: The Maple Leafs suspended David Kampf without pay after his unexpected departure from the Marlies, likely leading to contract termination and freeing both parties to move on.
