C – Tom Fergus

After being acquired from the Boston Bruins at the start of the 1985-86 season, Tom Fergus made a quick impact on his new city as he tallied 31 goals in his first season with Toronto. That would turn out to be the peak of his goal scoring.

He would average 20 goals per season over the course of his next four with the Maple Leafs, which helped him accumulate a total of 297 points in 357 games with the franchise.

Fergus suffered a serious groin injury partway through the 1989-90 season. His play and production both, unfortunately, began to decline following his comeback.

After he was traded to the Vancouver Canucks in December 1991, he only ended up playing a total of 80 more games before he retired.

RW – Phil Kessel

In a move that would be reflected on for years to come, Phil Kessel was acquired from the Boston Bruins in a 2009 trade that ended up resulting in Boston drafting Tyler Seguin, Jared Knight, and Dougie Hamilton.

Kessel played in Toronto for 6 seasons. His efforts never did materialize into much organizational success though, as the Maple Leafs only made the post-season once during his tenure.

However, it wasn’t for a lack of personal production. Kessel was a proven 30-goal scorer in his time with Toronto, averaging slightly over that mark on a per season basis while there. He was brought in to score and he did.

Phil Kessel sits 20th all-time in overall point production for the franchise and 18th in goal scoring.
