David Matthew Warsofsky (born May 30, 1990 in Marshfield , Massachusetts ) is an American ice hockey player who has been under contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs in the National Hockey League since August 2020 and for their farm team, the Toronto Marlies , in the American Hockey League is used. Before that, he spent over five years in the Boston Bruins organization .

Career

youth

David Warsofsky grew up in Marshfield as the youngest of four brothers, of whom Ryan Warsofsky (with the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees from the Central Hockey League and the Turnhout Tigers from Belgium) also made it into the professional field and since the 2013 / 14 works as an assistant coach for the South Carolina Stingrays . David Warsofsky played with him at high school in his hometown before moving to the USA Hockey National Team Development Program (NTDP) for the 2007/08 season, the central talent factory of the US Ice Hockey Federation. With the U18 of the NTDP he took part in the NAHL game operations and represented the USA at the U18 World Cup in 2008 , in which the team - led by him as captain - won the bronze medal and he led all the defenders of the tournament in scorer points (7). In the subsequent NHL Entry Draft 2008 Warsofsky was selected in 95th position by St. Louis Blues .

After just one year he retired from the NTDP due to old age and moved to Boston University , for whose terriers he played in Hockey East under the National Collegiate Athletic Association . In his first year, he and the team won the college championship of the NCAA and led all freshmen in the country with a plus / minus statistic of +26. As a sophomore, he improved primarily offensively and scored 12 goals in 34 games. At the turn of the year 2009/10 he was part of his country's U20 national team , which became world champion at the 2010 U20 World Cup . After the St. Louis Blues had given his NHL rights in June 2010 in exchange for Vladimír Sobotka to the Boston Bruins , Warsofsky completed his last season at Boston University, at the end of which he was elected to the Second All-Star Team of Hockey East .

NHL

At the end of the 2010/11 season, Warsofsky made his debut for the Providence Bruins from the American Hockey League , the farm team of the Boston Bruins. This was followed by two full seasons in the AHL before the defender made his debut for the Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League (NHL) in December 2013 . In total, however, he only came to six missions there and could not establish himself in the NHL squad. After a similar picture had emerged in the following season 2014/15 (4 NHL and 40 AHL appearances), he signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins as a free agent in July 2015 . He left the Providence Bruins with a total of 230 appearances in the regular season and was at that time among the five defenders with the most games in the team's history.

In Pittsburgh, the defender was initially given more time, but subsequently switched between the NHL and the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins from the AHL. When this happened again in February 2016, the New Jersey Devils signed him off the waiver . There he finished the season and then made his debut in the United States senior team when he finished fourth with the team at the 2016 World Cup . In New Jersey, he did not get a new contract as a defense attorney, so he returned to the Pittsburgh Penguins as a free agent in July 2016. This used him mainly in the AHL, where Warsofsky achieved by far his best personal season statistics and was subsequently elected to the AHL Second All-Star Team .

Nevertheless, his expiring contract was not extended after the end of the season, so he joined the Colorado Avalanche in July 2017 - again as a free agent . In the same way, the defender moved again to the Pittsburgh Penguins in July 2019 . They used him exclusively in the AHL, where he took over the office of team captain at the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins, before he went to the Toronto Maple in August 2020 with Evan Rodrigues , Filip Hållander and a first-round suffrage in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft Leafs was delivered. In return, the penguins received Kasperi Kapanen , Jesper Lindgren and the NHL rights to Pontus Åberg .
