#4 Wendel Clark

The fan favourite, Wendel Clark, comes in at number four. Drafted first overall in the 1985 draft, Clark was known for being a train on the ice. Despite being only 5’11, he would never back down from a fight and would always defend his teammates. Clark embraced what it meant to be a Toronto Maple Leaf and played with his heart on his sleeve every single game.

With a career high of 271 PIM during the 1986-87 season, he was able to make the fans fall in love with his game. He also had 37 goals that season, showing that he was able to not only play a tough game, but can produce offensively for the team as well.

On top of what he did on the ice, Clark was an even better leader off of the ice. He loved Toronto and really cared about his teammates, which made him a great captain for the team. He represented what it meant to be a Leaf and showed that every day while he was with the team.

Over his career he had a total of 330 goals, 234 assists for 564 points in 793 points. An even bigger stat is that he had a total of 1690 penalty minutes over the course of his career. That is more than a penalty a game.

For every reason mentioned above, Clark will forever be one of the greatest Leafs of all-time.
