Report: Maple Leafs Suspend David Kampf Without Pay
The relationship between the Toronto Maple Leafs and David Kampf has been deteriorating over the past year, reaching a critical point recently. For the first time since the 2017-18 season, Kampf was left off the Maple Leafs' roster after training camp.
After being assigned to the AHL’s Toronto Marlies, Kampf refused to report, leading to disciplinary actions. According to league sources, Kampf is suspended without pay by the Maple Leafs organization. This suspension means the Leafs are not currently responsible for the $1.25 million cap charge that would apply if he remained with the minors.
"David Kampf is suspended without pay by #LeafsForever for leaving their AHL team, and therefore the Leafs are not currently incurring the $1.25M buried Cap Charge for him while in the minors."
The Maple Leafs have confirmed that resolving this situation amicably remains a priority, with the expectation that Kampf will report back soon as part of the process.
