#2. Brian Leetch

In comparison to Housley’s career in Toronto, it felt like Leetch played a life-time for the Leafs.

However, Leetch only played in 15 regular season games, and 13 playoff games during his short-stint in 2003-04.

Leetch will always be remembered as a New York Ranger, so it’s easy to forget he ever played in Toronto.

Leetch won a Calder Trophy, two Norris Trophies, one Stanley Cup and a Conn Smythe Trophy during his time with the Rangers, so it’s safe to say he’ll never have to buy a drink in New York ever again.

Similar to Housley, Leetch will go down as one of the greatest American-born defenseman to ever play in the NHL.
