Nyland, Benning, Melrose, McGill, Komiserek, Oziganov, Tim Gleason, Drake Berehowski, TJ Brennan.

I have seen a lot over the years BUT....Klingberg might be the worst defensively (Small sample)

Nobody is worse than Lebda. Hands down the biggest turd I have ever seen in the NHL, not just the Leafs. Honorable mention to Martin Marincin. Gardiner was garbage, but at least he provided some offence.

I just laughed out loud knowing you've just found a way to fill the missing void in your heart after they got rid of the last guy you had an unnatural hate for (Engvall). :)

Jonas Frogren

I'm not sure about worst of all-time, but Frogren was certainly someone on skates. I honestly think he could've played without a stick because he just loved acting like a goalie in front of the crease.

To make things worse, Leafs lost a 4th rounder and were fined $500K for violating the CBA when they got him. All that for 41 games of Frogren.

I remember watching Andy Wozniewski with my dad as a kid and we would always say Andy What’s-new-ski because he was good for being at fault for at least 1 goal per game lol.

Lebda and Wozniewski as mentioned.

Mike Kostka was horrible. As was Paul Ranger. Anders Eriksson.

Ranger? The rest ok, but Ranger was ok.

Berg would be top 4 on this current team. Not even close to being the worst defenseman.

Ya, he's a meme. Here on HF Leafs specifically. Not in conversation

Jim Korn
Wayne Hillman
Mike Pelyk
Staffan Kronwall
Brett Lebda
Jeff Finger
Mike Komisarek
Keith Aulie
Calle Johansson
Woz

This is a real list.

He got a lot of hate but he wasn’t as bad people say. He wasn’t even worse dman on the team during his time here.

Worst dman I saw on the leafs happens to be a hall of famer that was way passed it. If anyone remembers Phil Housley short stint in 2003 you would know what I’m talking about. He was completely cooked.

I seem to remember Ranger looking good on the Marlies when he came back to hockey. But his Leaf time my memory says he struggled mightily. I could be wrong though, but the fact that his name came to my head so easily means I suffered some sort of PTSD with him.
