""The Toronto Marlies are playing tonight in Chicago in the American Hockey League, and he's not with them. I was told there's a possibility he could play tomorrow, but I think that's unlikely," he said. "David Kampf has taken a couple of days to kind of think about his future. Obviously, he's not playing with the Maple Leafs right now; he's in a bit of a roster and salary cap crunch situation, and he got a little bit frustrated. I think everybody understands, he wants to play in the NHL and he's an NHL player.""
"" One of the things that was being rumoured in the last couple of days, Ron, is that there's been a couple of players - Conor Sheary was one, Brandon Saad was one, Filip Zadina was one - who terminated their contracts so they could get back to the NHL or find a better situation in the NHL," he said. " I'm not sure that's going to happen. He still is owed about $4 million on his Toronto contract. But there's no question that he's taken some time this weekend to think about his future in the NHL, what he wants to do. We'll see if the Maple Leafs can find a move this weekend for him, or to clear space, and or what next week brings him.""
David Kampf is not with the Toronto Marlies while he takes time to consider his NHL future and his role within the organization. He has taken a couple of days to think after becoming frustrated about not playing in the NHL during a roster and salary-cap crunch. There is a possibility he could play soon, but that appears unlikely. The Maple Leafs have been attempting to trade Kampf to free cap space, but no deal has materialized. A buyout is considered unlikely. Kampf remains owed about $4 million on his Toronto contract and is in the third year of a four-year deal.
