Maple Leafs' David Kampf Away from Team, Considering Future
Toronto Maple Leafs centre David Kampf is currently away from the team, reflecting on his future following a start to the season in the AHL. The 30-year-old was waived early in the season and reassigned to the AHL’s Toronto Marlies, where he appeared in four games and recorded one assist.
Possible Resolution Imminent
TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston noted on Thursday's Insider Trading that an agreement between Kampf and the Maple Leafs might be reached by the weekend.
“They’ve got a lot of forwards up and down the organization, and one whose status has been a little bit unclear in the last week is David Kampf,” said Johnston. “He’s been away from the Toronto Marlies, pondering his future, what he wants to do next. I’m told that could be coming to a resolution by this weekend. Could even see Kampf rejoin the Marlies. We’ll see what happens there.”
Contract and Career Overview
- Kampf is in the third year of a four-year contract worth $9.6 million, with an average annual value of $2.4 million.
- He was an undrafted free agent who signed a two-year entry-level deal with the Chicago Blackhawks in May 2017.
- Kampf played four seasons in Chicago before joining Toronto as a free agent in 2021 on a two-year contract.

Challenges in the 2024-25 Season
