Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] F David Kampf signs extension with the Maple Leafs (4 years, $2.4M AAV)

[MagicalRazor]

1.8M max first deal an over payment , Grab your ankles on this matthews deal

 

[Zur En Arrh]

Lmao

Don't know why you're laughing. It's half of what Campbell got and he contributes 10 times as much lmfao

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Decent player for sure, but that’s a lot of term and dollar for the guy.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

Excellent defensively, excellent PKer, plays 15+ minutes a game, decent size, good speed, still on the right side of 30, chips in once in a while offensively, good at face offs, good positionally.

Good signing.

 

[Zur En Arrh]

We just decided this guy was a key part of our group for half a decade.

Gets murdered and just shrugs.

Winner.

Total bitch hit.. can't wait till gudas gets his...and Bennet... Haha no cup !!!

 

[Discoverer]

Teams have no cap space and are giving away players for free.

I dont understand that move.

You could have Hayes who is a 50 pts player for 1M more.

Hayes would play a completely different and far less important role than what they're paying Kampf to play. If they acquired Hayes they would still be looking for someone to take the hardest defensive assignments and kill penalties.

Good signing.

He's not excellent at any of this stuff. He also had 2 20+ game streaks without a goal.

This is some copium, dude.

At least Kampf isn't benched for most of the season, after signing a backbreaker contract.

 

[ITM]

Jarnkrok's a comparable on the club and he's earning around the same isn't he?

Kampf's three years younger?

This is a nothing-burger.

Don't mind the signing in the least.

 

[ranold26]

It looks like it's the CORE 5 now.

 

[SEALBound]

Jeez, is he really that bad? $2.4mil isn't that much for a guy who can do bottom 6 center duties while potting 25+ points.

Who in free agency are you getting that can do that for cheaper?

 

[belair]

His stats in the past two seasons are worth the AAV. But you kind of hope the player gets passed on the depth chart rather quickly, which makes the term kind of questionable.

I don't like it.

 

[The Podium]

Ya, who cares about playoffs when considering contenders, right? Personally, I can't wait to hang a President's trophy banner too.

Punch enough tickets and it may be your time to win. It’s not who care about playoffs.

 

[Vukotal Recall]

Excellent defensively, excellent PKer, plays 15+ minutes a game, decent size, good speed, still on the right side of 30, chips in once in a while offensively, good at face offs, good positionally.

Good signing.

Aaaaaaannnd there's your problem right there

 

[RomanianLeafs]

One year too much, otherwise no problem with the deal i wanted him back

 

[Dr Pepper]

Shanny must truly be the smartest guy in the room, and everyone else is wrong.

Not sure how else to explain his unwillingness to shake things up.

Keep (almost) everything the exact same, and hope for a better result. It's bound to work one of these years, right?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good for Kampf. Always liked him on the hawks

 

[Shak19]

A little higher than I would like... I think 2.25 x 4 years is more appropriate.... deal should look better once cap goes up in next few years, but the guy is underrated and we do need him, as our 4th line center, shutdown line, PKer

 

[The Podium]

His stats in the past two seasons are worth the AAV. But you kind of hope the player gets passed on the depth chart rather quickly, which makes the term kind of questionable.

I don't like it.

His stats are by far the least impressive thing Kampf does.

He literally eats heavy defensive effectively, solid on the dot, solid on the PK.

 

[HandshakeLineRespect]

This contract is a rounding error in years 3&4

 

[LeafGrief]

Outstanding to have Kampf back. Brilliant bottom sixer, the kind of guy who’s worth committing to.

 

[BHD]

Glad they re-signed him. It was a big concern for me this offseason.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Jeez, is he really that bad? $2.4mil isn't that much for a guy who can do bottom 6 center duties while potting 25+ points.

Who in free agency are you getting that can do that for cheaper?

No he’s not bad at all.
He’s solid defensively and can move up to 3C. Ideally he’s 4C though.

 

[Bizz]

lol

[Drumman44]

As Steve Dangle tweeted, this is a million dollar raise that eliminates the salary cap bump
