Friedman: Nick Ritchie a possible fit in Arizona, lya Lyubushkin a defense target for the Leafs?

“Arizona just announced their lineup for the game tonight. Ilya Lyubushkin is not playing. He is a defenseman who is a right-hand shot. He is a player who has had some interest around the league. He is not very well known, but he is a pretty good player.

I am wondering if it is a potential match between Toronto and Arizona. The Coyotes only have five players under contract next year. We know the Leafs are trying to move Nick Ritchie. I think there might be something there.”

Ritchie exited the Marlies game partway through the team’s loss to Belleville on Friday night with an apparent injury and did not feature in Saturday’s rematch.
