#4. Ron Francis

As a two-time Stanley Cup champion in Pittsburgh and King Clancy Memorial Trophy and Lady Byng Trophy winner in Carolina, it may be easy to forget Francis as a Leaf.

If you were asked a trivia question of “What team did Ron Francis play his last career game with?”, Toronto is probably not the first place you’d pick.

However, after a mid-season trade on March 9, 2004, Francis played his final 12 regular season games in Toronto, finishing his career as a Maple Leaf.

A first-ballot Hall-of-Famer, Francis finished with 1798 career points, which is fifth in NHL history.

Even if Leaf fans forget, they should be proud that Francis scored 10 of those 1798 as a Maple Leaf.
