TSN’s Darren Dreger alluded to the Kampf signing being a priority for the Leafs on Tuesday, while also pointing out the fact the team could be interested in keeping forward Alex Kerfoot.
āToronto is circling around forwards Alex Kerfoot and David Kampf. Obviously, time is running out before the UFA market opens,ā Dreger tweeted Tuesday. āKampf appears to be more of a focus for the Leafs at this point.ā
