The clock is ticking on Kerby Rychel

Scott Harrington scored his first NHL goal on the weekend. Kerby Rychel had seven assists in three games in the AHL.

For the Leafs, trading Harrington (acquired in the Phil Kessel trade) was more about choosing Frank Corrado over him, and that choice might have been as simple as left versus right. But the actual return on the Harrington trade, Kerby Rychel, was a swap of a waiver-exempt forward prospect for a defender the Leafs knew could play well enough in the right NHL situation, but wasn’t going to wow anyone.
