David Kämpf Frustrated With Maple Leafs Situation
Toronto Maple Leafs forward David Kämpf is reportedly frustrated with his current situation, leading him to take a break from the AHL's Toronto Marlies. This has created a complex roster challenge for both the team and the player.
Kämpf’s Current Status
During the Saturday Headlines segment on Hockey Night in Canada, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman revealed that Kämpf was absent from the Marlies’ recent road trip.
“Kämpf has taken a couple of days to kind of think about his future. Obviously, he's not playing with the Maple Leafs right now. He's in a bit of a roster and salary cap crunch situation, and he got a little bit frustrated.”
Contract and Cap Implications
- Kämpf is in the third year of a four-year contract with a $2.4 million salary cap hit per season.
- Due to NHL rules, the Leafs carry $1.25 million of his salary on their cap, as only $1.15 million of buried contracts can be excluded in 2025-26.
- The team placed Kämpf on waivers before the season started; no NHL club claimed him, so he was assigned to the Marlies.
Challenges for Team and Player
This situation is far from ideal. The Leafs likely hoped to trade Kämpf, while the player still sees himself fitting into an NHL roster elsewhere.
