Overview
- TSN’s Darren Dreger reports Toronto will waive David Kämpf today for the purpose of terminating his contract, which would allow him to sign elsewhere if he clears.
- Ending the deal is expected to remove the $1.25 million cap charge the Maple Leafs had been carrying above the buriable amount.
- Termination would cost Kämpf more than $3 million in guaranteed salary remaining on his contract.
- Kämpf cleared waivers before the season, logged four games with the AHL Marlies, left the team on Oct. 29, and was subsequently suspended without pay.
- Coverage notes an unofficial dispute over clawing back part of a summer signing bonus that has slowed the process, with no formal resolution yet disclosed.
