The Toronto Maple Leafs once again had a solid regular season, but ultimately failed to make a deep run in the playoffs once again.

The Toronto Maple Leafs made it past the first round finally, but the goal should obviously be bigger than that.

Still, it was a successful season. The Leafs were once again competing for the President’s Trophy, and ultimately finished fourth overall despite playing in, by far, the NHL’s toughest division.

For the fourth straight year, the Leafs were over a .600 points-percentage, and were a legitimate Stanley Cup Contender.

Though this summer will see major changes – there are ten free agents and a new GM – the Leafs will once again be a top contender going into next season.

With that said, let’s take a look at the players who played for the Leafs this season and grade them based on their performance.

Eligibility for player grades is based on having played 3 or more games with the Toronto Maple Leafs this season between the regular season and the playoffs.

This is the first part of 5. In this article, we will be going through players the Leafs acquired throughout the 2022-2023 season. (Stats from naturalstattrick.com and  NHL.com).
