K. Keon, Dave

Voted as the greatest Maple Leaf of all-time, Keon played 15 seasons in the Blue-and-White.

Keon was a vital piece of the Leafs last dynasty in the 1960s, winning four Stanley Cups, as well as the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1967.

Other Notables: Phil Kessel, Red Kelly

L. Leeman, Gary

Leeman’s 1989-90 season was one of the most special years in Leafs history.

Scoring 51 goals that season, Leeman joined Rick Vaive as the only Leaf to ever eclipse the 50-goal mark in a single-season.

Other Notables: Brian Leetch

M. Matthews, Auston

Recency bias? Yeah probably, but who cares.

Mahovlich had an unbelievable career but what Matthews is doing in the modern-NHL is amazing. When Matthews’ career is over, he may go down as the greatest Leaf to ever live.

Other Notables: Frank Mahovlich, Lanny McDonald, Mitch Marner, Alex Mogilny

N. Nieuwendyk, Joe

He may have only played one season with the Leafs, but Nieuwendyk made an impact within that short time-frame.

Nieuwendyk scored two huge goals in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Quarter-Finals against Patrick Lalime to send the Ottawa Senators packing. As crazy as it is, he was a vital part in the last Leafs team to ever win a playoff round.

Other Notables: William Nylander, Owen Nolan

O. Olczyk, Ed

In three seasons in Toronto, Olczyk’s goal totals went like this: 42, 38, 32.

His 1988-89 season was very special as he finished with 90 points, leading the Leafs in scoring.

Other Notables: Jeff O’Neill

P. Pulford, Bob

From 1956-1970, Pulford was a steady goal-scorer for the Leafs. With four Stanley Cup victories in the 1960s, Pulford was an important piece to those teams.

In 16 total NHL seasons, Pulford never scored less than 11 goals in a season and was a very steady and reliable player
