David Kampf Steps Away From Marlies, Weighs Contract Termination With Maple Leafs

A termination would clear his $2.4 million cap charge.

Overview

  • NHL insider reports say Kampf left the AHL Marlies to consider his future, with contract termination under discussion.
  • Head coach Craig Berube said the decision lies with Kampf and general manager Brad Treliving.
  • Kampf is in the third season of a four-year deal carrying a $2.4 million average annual value with roughly $4 million still owed.
  • He cleared waivers and the trade market is described as limited, while a buyout is viewed as unlikely because it would count against the cap.
  • If no termination or trade materializes, he is expected to remain in the AHL, whereas a termination would make him a free agent at the cost of guaranteed salary.
