TOR gets Kerby Rychel from CBJ for Scott Harrington and a conditional pick.

Meh/Ok?

I'm not all that big on Rychel but Harrington clearly wasn't going to fit into the Leafs plans.  Depends on what the conditions are on the pick.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie

The pick in TOR-CBJ is a conditional 5th. If Harrington is put on waivers by CBJ and gets claimed, CBJ gets a 5th. If he clears, no pick.

The condition was put in simply because Rychel doesn't need waivers for a couple of seasons, Harrington requires them now.

That's a good deal for the Leafs.

Conditions are Columbus gets a 5th rounder if Harrington is put on waivers and claimed.

 

[L K]

Ok, yeah, so Rychel for a 5th or Harrington.  I'm more than ok with that.

 

[Kin]

I like it. Rychel's got some size and decent AHL numbers.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Columbus could conceivably get only a 5th for Rychel.

Could the Leafs claim Harrington if he was put on waivers?  ;D

 

[Deebo]

We were probably going to have to waive Harrington as I don't think he was going to crack the roster out of camp.

 

[Kin]

So as of now Kessel = Kapanen, Rychel, Greenway and half of Andersen

 

[TBLeafer]

If Harrington is claimed off waivers, we get the 5th, that's the condition.

Otherwise its a straight trade.

 

[Deebo]

He was only getting 9:30 TOI/g with Columbus. All at even strength.

 

[Mr. Leaf]

I'm happy/excited with this trade.  I remember really wishing Toronto had taken Rychel in his draft year.  He should have a decent shot at making the team in the fall.

Only 21 years old. Let's see what Babcock can do with him.

I can't believe Columbus has traded him so early in his career a 2013 1st rounder 19th overall.

If Harrington is claimed off waivers, we they get the 5th, that's the condition.

Otherwise its a straight trade.

Fixed it for you

 

[Highlander]

which half of Andersen did Kessel provide, top or bottom?

Top half, you can live without your bottom half!  8)

I'm pretty sure Rychel asked for a trade out of Columbus around Christmas of last year. Maybe that helped grease the wheels a bit.

From what I have heard, it was his Dad and agent that asked for the trade!  They were unhappy with where he was slotted in their depth chart.
