#80. Nik Antropov

As the greatest hockey player from Kazakhstan, Antropov had a career high 26 goals with Toronto in 2007-08.

#81. Phil Kessel

The two-time Stanley Cup winner is still one of the best pure goal scorers the Leafs have ever had. Since 2008, Kessel has scored 20 goals or more in 11 straight seasons.

#83. Cody Ceci

Sorry Leafs fans. If there was another player to choose from, we would. However, Ceci is the only player to wear this number.

#84. Mikhail Grabovski

Grabovski excelled as a Leaf and had a breakthrough year in 2010-11 with 29 goals and 58 points.

#88. Eric Lindros

If it wasn’t due to concussion issues, Lindros could have been one of the best players to ever play. The 1994-95 Hart Trophy winner only played 33 games with Toronto, but had four 40-goal or more seasons during his time in Philadelphia.

#89. Alexander Mogilny

It was a pleasure to watch Mogilny finish his career with the Toronto Maple Leafs. With 1032 points in 990 games, including a 76-goal campaign in 1992-93, it’s unfair that Mogilny is not in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

#91. John Tavares

The hometown kid came home and Leaf fans have never been so grateful. In 11 career seasons, Tavares has scored 24 goals or more each year, with his best season coming last year with 47 goals.

#92. Jeff O’Neill

The former fourth overall pick in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft was a highly touted prospect. O’Neill had three 30 goal seasons, including a career-high 41 goals in 2000-01.

#93. Doug Gilmour (Retired Number)

Gilmour is one of the greatest Toronto Maple Leafs of all-time and is incredibly deserving of his retired jersey. Gilmour’s 1992-93 season with 127 points scored is the most in Leafs history, and although he never won a Stanley Cup in Toronto, he achieved that goal with Calgary and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2011.

#94. Sergei Berezin

Berezin was one of the fastest Leafs and had four 20-goal seasons in five years with Toronto. Berezin had a career high 37 goals to lead the Leafs in that category in the 1998-99 season.

#96. Phil Housley

Housley had the definition of a cup of coffee in Toronto with only one regular season game played in Toronto. Although he wasn’t quite remembered as Leaf, Housley played 1495 career games is one of the best American-born defenseman to ever live.

#99. Wilf Paiement

Toronto Maple Leafs fans wish that the number 99 would have been worn by Wayne Gretzky, but that dream didn’t happen, although it was close. Prior to Gretzky making 99 so famous, Paiement did pretty good himself with 11 career 20-goal seasons.
