According to a new report from a trusted NHL Insider, the Toronto Maple Leafs may be planning on moving on from two more forwards ahead of free agency.
Currently, they have $26.8M in cap space (according to PuckPedia) – take out $6.8M for a John Tavares extension on the high side and they are left with $20M to spend up front. The Leafs could explore parting with two bottom-six forwards in an effort to create even more cap and roster space, according to one Insider.
Jarnkrok has one more season at $2.1M, while Kampf has another 2 years at a $2.4M cap hit.
Moving on from Jarnkrok and Kampf wouldn’t decimate the Leafs by any means as they both missed significant time with injury this past season. Not only would it free up cap space, but it would also free up roster spots for the club to give opportunities to younger players like Easton Cowan.
Regardless of how the Leafs revamp their bottom-six, there will be significant changes this summer as the Leafs will head into next season with very different looking group. That has all but been confirmed.
