Top 5 Hall of Famers You Forget Played for the Toronto Maple Leafs

#5. Eric Lindros

In comparison to the rest of the list, Lindros had the longest career in Toronto.

When you think of the former Hart Trophy winner, you think of his time with the Philadelphia Flyers where he was the most dominant player in the NHL.

Lindros was a power-forward who used his 6-foot-4, 230 pound frame to enforce his opponents, but could score at-will.

Lindros had seven seasons with 30-plus goals, including a career high 47 in the 1995-1996 season.

Although injuries shortened his career, Lindros was one of the most talented and unique players to ever play in the NHL.

Unfortunately, the once dominant superstar was a shadow of what he used to be by the time the Toronto Maple Leafs acquired him.

Once dominating the NHL with reckless physical abandon, Lindros had had too many head injuries to play like he did in his early career, and his time with the Leafs was uneventful.

With so much career success early in Philadelphia, it’s easy to overlook his time in Toronto.
