Mats Sundin – Toronto Maple Leafs Centre 1994-2008

The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Mats Sundin from the Quebec Nordiques on June 28, 1994 with Garth Butcher, Todd Warriner and a 1st round draft pick (Nolan Baumgartner) for Wendel Clark, Sylvain Lefebvre, Landon Wilson and a 1st round draft pick (Jeffrey Kealty).

Mats Sundin would play 13 seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs and become the franchise leader in career goals (420) and points (987).

Sundin had an immediate impact on the Toronto Maple Leafs as he led the team in points all six seasons he was with the team during the 1990’s and leading the team in goals four times in that time.

Mats Sundin joined the team after their back-to-back trips to the Conference Finals in 1993 and 1994 but was instrumental during their 1999 run to the Conference Finals where he had eight goals and 16 points in 17 games.

Sundin continued to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs throughout the 2000’s and was team captain from 1997-2008.  He would be honoured with an induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame, a statue on Legends Row, and his retired #13 raised to the rafters of Scotiabank Arena.
