Part II of Prospect Update on Monday
*******
Kerby Rychel could be making the choices for the Leafs expansion protected list more difficult. The Marlies winger scored twice and added an assist in a 5-4 Toronto victory over Manitoba on Sunday and Rychel now leads the AHL club with 43 points.
The 22-year-old winger, acquired in a draft day deal last June for Scott Harrington, has to be protected this June to not be snagged by Las Vegas in the expansion draft. If Toronto protects veterans Leo Komarov and Matt Martin, they would be able to protect only one of young forwards Rychel, Josh Leivo and Brendan Leipsic.
Leipsic, who missed the last seven weeks due to concussion issues, returned to the Marlies lineup in his hometown of Winnipeg on Sunday and registered two shots on goal.
