Former Maple Leaf. He was the first European born and trained player to play in 1,000 NHL games.

What a great player

Thankfully the Leafs were able to celebrate his career and life recently. Such a trailblazer for European players.

Fantastic player. I always appreciated he brought a cat to the press conference after he got his face slashed to pieces during a game.
