Ranking Every Toronto Maple Leafs Starting Goalie Since the 90s

# 10. Vesa Toskala

That fact that Vesa Toskala is on this list is a testament to how badly the Leafs have had it over the last 33 years.

I mean, sure, if they’d had stability in net and each key starter had gone on a long run, maybe there wouldn’t be so many options and you’d be fine adding in Toskala.

But that isn’t the case.

The Leafs have had 48 goalies since the 1990 season, and only Felix Potvin and Freddie Andersen stuck around longer than four years, so Toskala making the cut is just because the Leafs were a bad team for the vast majority of the time since this list starts.

The trade that sent Toskala to the Leafs was, in typical Leafs fashion, a huge loser.

On June 22 2007, the Leafs sent a first, second and a fourth round pick to the Sharks for Toskala and Mark Bell.

Bell played 35 games for the Leafs, while the Blues eventually used the Leafs pick to select Lars Eller.  I don’t know this for sure, but I doubt any team has historically wasted more first rounders than the Leafs.

Anyways, Toskala played parts of three forgettable seasons in Toronto, and he stunk.  His combined GAA for the three years he played here was over 3.00 and his save percentage was under .900.

The Leafs did not make the playoffs or win a game while he was here.  The only reason he makes this list is because Glen Healy, Damian Rhodes and Jonathan Bernier were the other main contenders for the last spot.
