David Kampf has gone from one Canadian team to another.
The Vancouver Canucks agreed to terms with the forward on a one-year, $1.1-million deal on Saturday, the team announced.
The deal comes one day after Kampf cleared waivers and had his contract terminated by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Kampf was previously waived before the season and sent to the AHL’s Toronto Marlies, where he played four games before stepping away from the team to ponder his future.
In turn, Toronto suspended him without pay on Nov. 2. The Maple Leafs were not incurring his $1.25-million buried cap charge while he was in the minors.
Kampf had another season remaining on the four-year, $9.6-million deal Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving signed him to in 2023.
The 30-year-old had five goals and 13 assists in 58 games for Toronto last season, all of which were the lowest totals he had recorded in his four-year tenure with the Leafs.
Kampf has 143 career points (48 goals, 95 assists) over 536 games and has split his eight NHL seasons evenly between the Leafs and the Chicago Blackhawks.
