Doug Gilmour
Doug Gilmour played six seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs from 1991-1997 and one final game in 2003. Gilmour was known more for his playmaking ability and killer attitude, but showing up at #8 on this list proves he was the full package.
He’s a Hall-of-Famer, Stanley Cup champion, Selke Trophy winner, Hart Trophy nominee, has his #93 hanging from the rafters at Scotiabank Arena, and holds the Toronto Maple Leafs franchise record for points in a season, but besides all that, he was a great goal scorer.
Doug Gilmour’s best goal scoring seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs came in 1992-93 and 1995-96 where he scored 32 goals in each of those seasons. He also scored 27 goals in 1993-94, 26 goals split between the Maple Leafs and the Calgary Flames in 1991-92, and 22 goals split between the Maple Leafs and New Jersey Devils in 1996-97.
He never led the Toronto Maple Leafs in goals over a season, but Doug Gilmour did have the second most on the team in 1992-93 (behind Nikolai Borschevshy), the third most in 1993-94 (behind Dave Andreychuk and Wendel Clark), and the third most in 1995-96 (behind Mike Gartner and Mats Sundin).
Doug Gilmour’s highest NHL goal totals came while he was with the St. Louis Blues with 42 goals in 1986-87 and 36 goals in 1987-88. He had three more 20+ goal seasons with St. Louis, three more with the Calgary Flames and one final 20+ goal season split between the Chicago Blackhawks and Buffalo Sabres in 1999-2000. In total, he scorer 20 or more goals in 14 different NHL seasons.
His 131 goals as a Toronto Maple Leaf are the 7th most in the last 30 years and 32nd in franchise history.
