"The Maple Leafs terminated Kampf's contract, ridding themselves of two more seasons at $2.4 million AAV. It was one of Brad Treliving's worst moves as GM to extend Kampf shortly after he took over for Kyle Dubas, and while their relationship ends in a positive matter for the Leafs, Kampf's lack of production has had serious implications on the Leafs' organization."
"While the Canadiens have had a solid start to the season, posting a 10-5-2 record through their first 17 games, defensively, they could use some help. GM Kent Hughes has been in the market for a centre throughout the summer, and is rumored to be interested in some major moves to upgrade his roster up front. Kampf could be an under-the-radar type of addition for the Habs' bottom six, which could help solidify their depth down the middle of the ice."
Brad Treliving terminated David Kampf's contract after Kampf fell down the Leafs' depth chart following a loss of trust from head coach Craig Berube. Kampf played in only one playoff game, was demoted to the AHL, and chose not to continue with minor-league assignments. The contract termination clears two seasons at $2.4 million AAV and reflects concerns about Kampf's production despite previous extension decisions. Kampf is now a 30-year-old unrestricted free agent, reportedly close to deciding his next team, with Montreal identified as a potential fit for a defensive, penalty-killing bottom-six role at minimum salary.
