Drafted: 7th Overall (1987)

Not who you thought it would be, did you? Who would have though that the Maple Leafs draft pick with the most games played would be a player like Luke Richardson?

While he might have played the most games, only 299 of those games were played with the Maple Leafs. He spent his first four seasons with Toronto before being traded to the Edmonton Oilers, where he would spend most of his career. He also played for the Philadelphia Flyers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Tampa Bay Lightning and the Ottawa Senators.

Richardson is currently the head coach of the Binghamton Senators, Ottawa’s AHL farm team.
