Notes:
Gary Leeman came up as a defenseman on some dreadful early '80s Maple Leafs teams.  A couple years into his career, he was converted into a wing.  He responded with back-to-back 30 goal seasons in 1987-88 and 1988-89.  In 1989-90 he exploded with an incredible 51 goal/95 point season (for another dreadful Maple Leafs squad).  A couple of trades and a couple of years later, Leeman was a role player on the 1993 Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens.  He retired in 1997, just one goal short of 200 for his career.
