There it is!

David Kampf Bio
Kampf's offensive numbers have never wowed anyone, either in his native Czech Republic. But the Chomutov, Czech Republic native's skills without the puck and as a penalty killer have made him a valuable teammate wherever he's played.

Danault by contrast had all of 24 Points playing on the first line and heavy minutes. Great deal at $5.5 for 6 years compared to Kampf with only 12 measly points on a crap team's third and fourth lines with limited icetime.

Leafs looking worse and worse. The plus side is this management group will finally be gone. (Please make me look dumb Shanadubas).

Per the athletic

There isnā€™t a ton of offensive pop to Kampfā€™s game, but he ticks a ton of boxes for any team in the market for a fourth-line centre.

Kampf and the Blackhawks are still engaged in contract talks and could come to an agreement, according to The Athleticā€™s Scott Powers. If the Czech-born defensive pivot hits the open market Wednesday, however, expect there to be a fair number of suitors of his services.

The 26-year-old pivot is a reliable faceoff winner, led all Blackhawks forwards in penalty killing ice time by over 40 minutes this past season and while his offensive production was non-existent ā€” just one goal in 56 games played in 2021 ā€” heā€™s still a decent bet to be a 10-goal fourth-line centre, capable of logging a ton of penalty killing minutes and giving any teams star players 10 to 11 five-on-five minutes of relatively worry-free rest per game.

Thereā€™s value in that, at the right price. And in a free-agent market with very few centre options, Kampf should have a decent market.

Solid signing.
Too bad itā€™s not for 3 years and heā€™s not from the Soo.

Nah- he's sh!t, at least Dubas didn't pay $5.5 Million for him for a zillion years like Edmonton and LA.

I have a feeling the stupid tax is going up for a few teams after this season
(let us compare stupidity)

Leafs stupid tax
Phil Kessel $1.2 M one more year

Oilers stupid tax
Lucic $750K 2 more years
Neal $1.914M 4 more years
Sekera $1.5M 2 more years

They can go over 10% of the cap and are said to be shopping Kerfoot, Mikheyev and Dermott.

I have no problem with signing him, but in what world is a player that wasn't even qualified with so little production getting 1.5 for 2 years? What the actual (frank)

Here is another opinion piece from people who know this guy more than I do.

I struggle to see how this is an overpayment. It is pretty clear he brings more than a show me 750K player.
