"Per Pagnotta, Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving has been working hard to trade Kampf for a "decent type of asset." That statement signals that the Leafs don't want to dump Kampf's contract for a late-round pick or even a "player to be named later." Treliving's efforts have honed in on landing a piece that could deliver some value to the club."
"Pagnotta believes that if Treliving can't get the deal he wants, there may be no choice left. "I think with the Leafs, they're going to continue to see what's going on here, but it seems like if we don't get a resolution today or by the end of the weekend, they'll just rip it up say that it hasn't worked, we'll save the money. Go out there and find a new deal somewhere else.""
The Toronto Maple Leafs could terminate the contract of forward David Kampf as soon as this weekend unless a trade is completed. GM Brad Treliving has been seeking a 'decent type of asset' in return rather than a late-round pick or a player to be named later, targeting a mid-tier prospect or a lower-round pick. A suitable trade does not appear imminent, and if no resolution occurs by the weekend the team may terminate the deal to save money, which would make Kampf an unrestricted free agent. Terminating the contract would carry negative optics for the club.
