I've been on HF.com for 9 years.
The highest the Leafs had been prior to the last couple years was #18 I think.
Most of the last 9 years we've been in the bottom 6-8 in organizational rankings.
Not that it matters really.
That seems about accurate considering how poorly Toronto performed in the NHL in recent years.
I would agree, however, that as a major market team, the Leafs get beat up more than other teams. As one Canadian once told me, "We all pull for each other in Canada because we are afraid of teams moving to the United States like Quebec and Winnipeg did. Except Toronto. We all hate the Leafs. They aren't moving south anyway."
