Because he's a pu$$y like his captain... scared of getting punched
if a guy attempted to injury me on a delayed penalty call on a late hit as well... I would have lost my mind!!! and went red... every man and especially hockey player, should know how to give and take a punch. PERIOD. But more importantly, know when its the right time to FINALLY STICK UP FOR TEAMMATES! Finally have the team building, line brawling, amalgamating team moment!.. I'm still waiting for that with this team, may never comeThe only thing worse than that moment was the Knies choke-slam and ZERO retribution...
Whimp teams are tough for even loyal fans to rally behind...
I don't understand the hate here, he's a solid bottom 6 player. He can PK, responsible defensively, good on faceoffs. What more do you want lol, he can play either the 3rd/4th line. This is a fine signing, not some home run deal, but it's definitely not a bad deal.

The stats are what get you paid though. Eating defensive minutes frequently goes unrewarded. And the role he played for the Leafs last season is probably not where fans want to see him long-term. You hope a better, more offensive player comes along eventually to add depth.
Kampf puts up a dozen points next season, that's an underperforming contract. That's all I'm saying. Giving him term just adds too much risk.
No lmao he's a solid player. Half of Leafs fans are just salty from how our season ended and want some huge home run signing so we have something new to be excited about. Kampf is fine, it's a fair deal, we got a good depth guy locked up.
No more trading picks to get a guy like Brian Boyle/Plekanec at the deadline, he's a role player, decent signing.
Either way this is meh
- this is where we spent the cap raise
- if this is for 3C then we will have an underwhelming offensive depth again
- if this is for 4C holmberg wont be getting an extended look at center.. i like holmberg is my point
So bland... we how have jarnkrok and kampf locked into term

He's being paid more than a team with our salary structure should pay for a 4C and has next to no offensive game which eliminates him as a potential 3C
He had 2 separate stretches where he had 0 goals for 20+ games lmao
It's not "bad". But we see time and again that locking yourself in to a 4th liner usually ends in regret.
It's not Barclay Goodrow or Jay Beagle bad, but it's in the same category of signing.

Center you mean.
I'll consider this deal a cheaper Kerfoot replacement, with better defense, except he wont be sliding up to play on the top line wing any time soon.
If he's given slightly better linemates, he may be able to produce more offense as a #3C, or he'll be used in a pure shutdown role like he usually is.
Alternatively, he can give a good defensive insurance to a shift disturbing 4th line and compensate for any defensive deficiencies the bottom F would likely have

he's paid for what he brings ...Just reading an old Athletic article from last April that had Kampf ranked as the 13th best Top 5v5 Shutdown Centers in the league 1 spot ahead of Kopitar.
Now, he will never bring Kopitars' offense, but at 2.4 you are getting Kopitar defense for 1/5th the cost, and he is highly regarded as a defensive specialist
Kampf may not be as sexy a name, but, he does his job very well.
fwiw Danault was 18th and surprisingly (to me anyways) UFA J.T. Compher was 3rd
Too much for too long for a 4th liner. Even if he is a really good 4th liner.

We're a joke. We can't get a single guy to even take market value much less an underpayment.
4 years, 10 million for a dime-a-dozen 4th liner? WTF are we doing.
David ****ing Kampf played hardball with us?

I sound? You can hear me?? that's interesting
I'm perfectly fine thank you : )
But it's cool, the world needs beta males to I guess... I just wish they didn't play for the Toronto Naple Leafs : (

I was expecting a 2 x 3 or 3 x 2. Shocked so many people hate it this much. He is a very useful player and would be easily traded at TDL. Very good defensive forward.

He's a good forward in the bottom six. That said, he doesn't contribute offensively and is purely a one dimensional player.
Overpaid.
Overpaid.
This is why I don't love it either, we have a cheaper, younger replacement ready to go.

Treliving era begins with a thud. Absurd to commit 4 years to a guy with merely good defense and zero offense. Smart teams don't lock up 4th liners with this kind of term.
