The NHL has suspended David Kampf of the Toronto Maple Leafs without pay for leaving his AHL team, the Toronto Marlies, while they were still active in the playoffs. This unexpected decision has raised eyebrows within the organization and among fans, as Kampf has been an integral part of the Maple Leafs' roster this season.
