#5. Alexander Mogilny

When Alexander Mogilny was on, he was one of the most lethal players in the NHL.

Mogilny’s 1992-93 season in Buffalo will go down as one of the best goal scoring seasons in history. With 76 goals in 77 games, there’s a small chance that any player will come close to that mark any time soon.

Although the Leafs signed Mogilny at the tail-end of his career, he still had tremendous talent. Paired up with Mats Sundin most nights, “Al-Mo” and Sundin were an unstoppable combination as the team made it to the Eastern Conference Finals during his first season in Toronto.

In Mogilny’s first two seasons with the Leafs, he scored 24 and 33 goals. His second season of 33 goals came with 46 assists for a total of 77 points, which led the team.

Besides Mogilny and Sundin, there wasn’t a ton of offense during his second season as they were the only players with more than 16 goals on the season, so they essentially carried the team into the playoffs that year.

Registering over a point-per game in his career, an Olympic Gold medal, World Championship Gold medal and Stanley Cup championship, it’s a shock that Mogilny is yet to be inducted into the Hockey Hall-of-Fame.
