Report: Toronto Maple Leafs Suspend David Kampf Without Pay

Kampf was not included in the Maple Leafs’ opening night roster this season, marking the first time since 2017-18 that he did not make an NHL opening roster.
Following this, Kampf was assigned to the Toronto Marlies, the Maple Leafs’ American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, but he refused to report.
