Dave Keon – Toronto Maple Leafs Centre 1960-1975
Some argue that Dave Keon may be the greatest Maple Leafs player of all time.
In 1970-71, Keon had career highs with 38 goals and 76 points and was 4th in Hart Trophy voting. For those keeping score, in 1970-71, Keon, Plante and Baun were 4th, 5th and 6th in Hart Trophy voting.
Dave Keon has been awarded with the highest honours that can be presented to Maple Leafs alumni with a retired jersey number in the rafters and a statue on Leafs Row.
Keon was captain of the Leafs from 1969-1975.
