Maple Leafs Secure David Kampf with 4-Year Deal in Treliving's First Move
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Athletic

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed David Kämpf to a four-year contract extension with an annual cap hit of $2.4 million. The deal was reached after negotiations between Kämpf's agent and Leafs assistant GM Brandon Pridham. Kämpf, who has become a favorite of head coach Sheldon Keefe for his defensive abilities, will likely slot in as the team's third-line center. While he may lack offensive production, his play-driving ability has been effective when paired with certain linemates. The signing ensures that another piece from last season's roster will be returning to the Leafs.
