Craig Berube’s post-practice comments on Saturday have confirmed one very significant change to the Leafs’ opening night roster after Scott Laughton‘s injury.Friday was an eventful day at training camp for the Maple Leafs. First, they announced that Scott Laughton was out week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Shortly after, they announced that David Kampf had been placed on waivers, which came as a shock to many as he had taken reps in Laughton’s spot during practice.
Craig Berube Confirms Significant Opening Night Lineup Change
It was a burning question for Berube following practice and he explained his logic behind the move despite having a ready fourth-line center in Kampf.
“I lost a centre. I need a centre. At the same time, it gets us depth in our lines.”
Clearly, Berube is looking to establish a more offensive third line with Laughton out, and has no plans for Kampf to take on Laughton’s role. His decision almost confirms that Kampf will either be sent to the Toronto Marlies or traded.
