"David Kampf's time with the Toronto Maple Leafs may have ended unceremoniously, and he has since landed in Vancouver."
"Kampf, who spent four full seasons with the Leafs, made a name for himself as a defensive forward, putting up 85 points in 301 games, with 14:15 of average total ice time."
"When the Maple Leafs waived Kampf and reassigned him to the Toronto Marlies to kick off the 2025-26 season, it was clear he wasn't happy and he left the Marlies after just four games. The Leafs weren't impressed and suspended Kampf before ultimately putting him on unconditional waivers and terminating his contract."
"I have heard return of the signing bonus has come up in the middle of this. So, I am thinking, that either the Maple Leafs said, 'hey, there's clawback language here and we're gonna enforce it,' or the league has said, 'hey, there's language here that we want you to enforce.'"
David Kampf left the Toronto Maple Leafs and has since landed in Vancouver. Kampf spent four full seasons with the Leafs as a defensive forward, recording 85 points in 301 games and averaging 14:15 of total ice time. The Maple Leafs waived Kampf and reassigned him to the Toronto Marlies to start the 2025-26 season; he left the Marlies after four games. The Leafs suspended Kampf, placed him on unconditional waivers and terminated his contract. The Leafs paid Kampf a $1.35 million signing bonus during the summer; clawback language in the contract could allow retrieval of that bonus, creating a contractual complication.
