David Kampf re-signs in TOR for 4 years, approx $2.5M AAV
— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) June 28, 2023
There was some chatter that Kampf could command upwards of $3 million with some term on the open market, but this still feels a few hundred thousand above the ideal and a couple of years too long, which is often part and parcel with securing UFA seasons from a natural NHL center with some demand/value in the market. Previously signed to a two-year, $1.5 million AAV contract, Kampf is coming off of a career-high 27 points in 2022-23.
