Since expansion beyond six teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs have never had a Hart, Vezina, Art Ross or Norris Trophy Winner.
Sure, Matthews won the Calder, and Pat Burns won the Jack Adams, while Doug Gilmour won the Selke. Great achievements all, but those are the second class NHL awards.
What fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs would really like to see – beyond a winning a team – is a major individual award.
Leon Draisaitl will win the Hart this season because he has the most points, but Auston Matthews is a more deserving candidate.
