Toronto Maple Leafs News: Kapanen and Harrington
The dust has settled on the Phil Kessel trade and the Toronto Maple Leafs newly acquired prospects are beginning to get more attention than the departed superstar.
Sportsnet has an article up on Scott Harrington‘s feelings about being traded.
“That was the first time I’ve ever been traded, but to be included in a deal like that, it’s a good feeling. It makes you feel wanted. If I were to get traded, you’d want to be included in a trade for a player of [Kessel’s] calibre.” (Sportsnet)
Harrington will get a chance to play a bigger role with the Toronto Maple Leafs than he would receive in Pittsburgh given he’s now near the top of the defensive prospect list on his new club.
