Maple Leafs David Kampf To Terminate Contract and sign with Bruins?(e4)

Maple Leafs Center David Kämpf Could Terminate Contract and Join Bruins

Thirty-year-old checking center David Kämpf still has two years left on his contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs, carrying a $2.4 million cap hit. However, he has remained off the ice recently, raising questions about his future with the team.

Sources close to the organization claim that Kämpf's absence is not related to his performance or personality, but rather the result of Toronto’s salary cap constraints. While his cap figure appears reasonable, the team’s decision to extend Scott Laughton suggests that Kämpf may no longer fit into Toronto’s long-term vision.

Our Leafs analyst Jay provides an in-depth look at Kämpf’s role in Toronto. For now, attention shifts toward possible destinations if he opts to terminate his contract and test the market as an unrestricted free agent — a move that appears increasingly likely, as Kämpf reportedly just wants to play again.

“At first glance, $2.4 million seems reasonable, but when I saw Toronto sign Scott Laughton to an extension, it became clear that Kämpf likely wouldn’t be part of the team’s long-term plans.”

Kämpf's story is inspiring: despite going undrafted, he built a solid NHL career during five seasons with Chicago and played a pivotal role when the Czech national team claimed gold at the 2024 World Championship.

Toronto’s David Kämpf may leave his contract early to pursue new opportunities, with reports hinting at growing interest from teams like the Bruins.
