Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023-24 revision of our top 50 Toronto Maple Leafs.
As for all of our top 50 players in hockey, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Maple Leafs again made the playoffs but faced their usual result: a first-round exit. Despite this, the team was loaded with veterans and saw significant elevations in the Top 50.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:
1. Syl Apps
2. Turk Broda
3. Tim Horton
4. Charlie Conacher
5. Borje Salming
You can find the entire list here.
On the strength of his 69-Goal season, Auston Matthews rocketed to #8 from #15.
Right Wing Mitch Marner advances to #33 from #36.
Defenseman Morgan Rielly moved up four spots to #38.
Center John Tavares climbed to #39 from #40.
William Nylander went to #45 from #48.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
