0:00It's April 25th, from the locker room to your ears. This is NHL News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. The Toronto Maple Leafs boast over a century of hockey history packed with Hall of Famers and scoring machines. Leading the all-time goals list is Austin Matthews, with 428, making him the franchise king after just eight seasons. Drafted first overall in 2016, he hit four goals in his debut game, snagged Ricky of the Year, and has topped 40 goals six times, including a record 69 last season under the salary cap era. Right behind him sits Matt's Sundin, with 420, the long-time captain and scoring leader for over a decade. Daryl Siddler, follows at 389, famous for his 10-point night and 440 goal seasons. Dave Keon, often called the greatest leaf ever, tallied 365 across 15 years and four Stanley Cups, while Ron Ellis hit three. 132 in 16 loyal seasons.

John Tavara's shock at age 34, scoring 38 to land 11th at 252, proving he's still elite. Rich Marner, more passive and sniper, reads 221 by sharpening his shot for a career best year. Dig deeper, and you see records like Rick Vave's 54 goal season from 1981, still untouched or legends like George Armstrong, and Frank Mahovlich, tying at 296 with unmatched loyalty and Cups. These lists highlight how endurance and peaks define Leafs greats, from original six errors to now. As Matthew's eyes more milestones with years left on his deal, and young guns like Nylander keep firing, this leaderboard keeps evolving, keeping Leaf. Nation buzzing season after season.
