According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman on his latest 32 Thoughts podcast, David Kampf hinted at a future that likely does not include the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Once an important player in the Leafs' bottom-six lineup, Kampf has been gradually phased out and assigned to the Toronto Marlies to make room for other players. This demotion was unwelcome for Kampf, who recently stepped away from the team to consider his career path.
Elliotte Friedman suggests that Kampf's future might be clearer now, with the possibility of his contract being terminated or his departure from the Maple Leafs organization.
