Today it was announced that Kerby Rychel has been added to the AHL All-Star game roster.
The original two Marlies named to this year’s team were Kasperi Kapanen and Brendan Leipsic. Kapanen was withdrawn a few days ago, and a player from the Utica Comets was added to make up the numbers.
The Marlies have now withdrawn Brendan Leipsic who was injured in a recent game and out of the lineup since. That’s the bad news. Marlies fans can only hope he recovers quickly.
Because the AHL wants a representative from every team, a Marlie had to be added this time, and they picked one of the best forwards in Kerby Rychel.
