The Score
The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded winger Nick Ritchie and a conditional draft pick to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for forward Ryan Dzingel and defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin, both teams announced Saturday.
Arizona will have its choice of the Leafs' third-round pick in 2023 or their second-round selection in 2025.
Ritchie hasn't suited up for the Maple Leafs since Jan. 12 and was assigned to the team's AHL affiliate earlier this month. The 26-year-old was never able to take off in Toronto despite seeing playing time on its top line alongside Auston Matthews. The 2014 10th overall pick registered just two goals and seven assists in 33 contests this season.
