The Toronto Maple Leafs are assessing their bottom six forwards amid a roster surplus. New signings are expected to fill primary roles, leaving few open slots. Bobby McMann and Calle Jarnkrok are poised for significant playing time, while Nick Robertson and David Kampf face uncertain futures. Jarnkrok's injury history raises questions about consistent availability. Meanwhile, Kampf's standing is tenuous, leading to speculation about possible placement on Robidas Island, where untradeable contracts often end up. The team appears reluctant to discard Kampf without interest from other teams in his contract.
The Maple Leafs are navigating a crowded bottom six, with newcomers likely solidifying spots, leaving Robertson and Kampf in precarious positions. Jarnkrok’s health further complicates their chances.
Both newcomer Nicolas Roy and Dakota Joshua appear secure on the third line, while Scott Laughton is a staple of the fourth line, impacting the futures of others.
Kampf's situation is grim; unless Laughton falters, he risks relegation to Robidas Island, a concept referring to long-term injured reserve as a means of managing player contracts.
Robidas Island, often used for undesirable contracts, has seen players like Ryan Reaves briefly find respite, but interest in Kampf's deal remains elusive.
