Meanwhile, Kampf began his NHL career with the Chicago Blackhawks after going undrafted. After four seasons in the Windy City, he signed a two-year deal with Toronto in late July of 2021; he opted to re-sign with the Leafs with a four-year, $9.6 million extension with a cap hit of $2.4 million.

NHL insider Darren Dreger says Toronto Maple Leafs forwards David Kampf and Calle Jarnkrok are trade candidates ahead of the season.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are actively exploring trade options involving defenseman Conor Timmins as they look to alleviate their current cap crunch and create an open spot ahead of the regular season.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will have some salary cap juggling to do before the season starts. They may also be active at the trade deadline, both if they want to add or if they want to dump (depending on where they sit in the standings).

NHL insider Chris Johnston has revealed the injury that Toronto Maple Leafs star forward and captain Auston Matthews has.
