The Toronto Maple Leafs have a handful of players on their roster that could potentially break some franchise records.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are known for their offensive talent, and with that comes the possibility to break some franchise records.

We’ve seen this team break some records in the past, mainly in the 2017-18 season where they broke the record for most wins, home wins, most points etc, all in franchise history.

Now we look towards the 2020-21 season for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and if somehow there is a full season , here are three records that could potentially be broken.

3. Most Points by a Maple Leafs Winger (Mitch Marner)

2019-20 stats – 59 GP – 16 G – 51 A – 67 PTS – 52.9% CF%

Career stats – 300 GP – 83 G – 208 A – 291 PTS – 52.0% CF%

Mitch Marner  finished the 2018-19 season with a very impressive 94 points in 82 games and he still most likely hasn’t had his best NHL season.  The current Toronto Maple Leafs record for most points by a winger in franchise history is 99  by Dave Andreychuk in 1993-94.

Marner could also break the record for most points by a Toronto Maple Leafs right winger which is 97 and currently held by Wilf Paiement from the 1980-81 season. Marner plays a very smart and high IQ game of hockey whenever he is on the ice as we all know by now. He makes his teammates and his line mates better and the same goes for them towards him as well as they all compliment each other great.  When Marner finished with 94 points during the 2018-19 season he was mainly on a line with John Tavares, who also finished with 47 goals, so I guess it’s safe to say Sheldon Keefe should keep those two together on the same line for next season.

In a full season Marner has a very good chance of breaking this record. (Stats from Hockey-Reference.com)
