Greatest Leafs Right Wingers

[The Winter Soldier]

If it is a question of impact rather than a career. Dave Andreychuck was the greatest Leafs Right Winger in one season in his 54 goal season IMO.

On the basis of longevity, I would have to say Lanny Mcdonald.

Gordie Drillon: The RW made two 1st All-Star teams & 1 X 2nd All-star team and won the Rocket Richard (most goals) and Art Ross (most points) in a NHL season and the Lady Byng (most gentleman player) trophies and is elected to the Hockey Hall of fame in 1975.

When was the last time a Leaf player lead the league in scoring?

Last Leaf Calder winner too

Rick Vaive ?

Vaive's teams didn't win, but that was through no fault of his own. The right winger scored 299 goals as a Leafs at a rate of 0.56 per game, the best in team history including 3 X 50+ goals seasons and was also Captain of the Leafs.

Vaive did play during the highest scoring era in hockey history. 1982 he was 5th in the league for goals but 27th for points, 1983 7th for goals and 32nd for points, and 1984 6th for goals and 18th for points.

So while he did have 3X 50 goal seasons, a 50 goal season in that era is not at all the same as a 50 goal season today or from the 1950s, 1960s, etc.

I don't know these players well enough to judge who should be top 4. Just saying that Vaive's very high goal scoring rate should come with that asterix.
