# 8. Grant Fuhr
Grant Furh is 12th in all-time goalie wins, and third in all-time Playoff Goalie Wins (all-time ranking stats quanthockey.com).
He only played on the Toronto Maple Leafs for two seasons 1991-92 and 92-93.
He amassed a record of 38-42-9 and both years he played for them their team was fairly bad.
Fuhr was only the starter for one year, then Felix Potvin stole the crease and Fuhr was traded at the next season’s trade deadline.
Fuhr was acquired in a trade with Edmonton that saw the Leafs send Vincent Damphouse, Peter Ing, Luke Richardson and Scott Thornton to the Oilers for Fuhr, Glenn Anderson and Craig Berube.
This trade was terrible, as Damphouse would go on to multiple 90 point seasons and a 1200 point career. This was three top-ten picks of players in their early 20s for a bunch of old dudes to join a crap team.
However, despite Fletcher blowing it with his first big trade, he redeemed himself by sending Fuhr and a 5th to the Sabres for Dave Andreychuck, Darren Puppa and a 1st.
This trade led to the Leafs making the Final Four in back-to-back years. As you know, in the last 33 years, the Leafs have made it to the Final Four 4x, and so even though he didn’t actually help the Leafs get their personally, Fuhr, by way of Andreychuck, was instrumental in half of those.
That is why despite his bad stats and limited number of games in a Leafs uniform, we still chose to rank Fuhr 8th.
