Well, one dark mark on the Toronto Maple Leafs’ season could be coming to a close as speculation swirls that the team will place David Kämpf on waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract at some point on Thursday. If the 30-year-old clears waivers, he will become a free agent with the ability to sign with any other team in the NHL, if there’s mutual interest.
Kämpf has yet to play an NHL game this season and seemed to be the odd man out in Toronto coming out of camp. After being sent to the American Hockey League (AHL), Kämpf stepped away from the Toronto Marlies and didn’t report to the team, earning a suspension from the organization.
The player and his agent, JP Barry, were looking for any sort of resolution to the situation which would land his client back in the NHL. However, it seems as though there wasn’t a trade market for Kämpf that the Maple Leafs were willing to explore. Hence the expected termination of his contract.
