A four time All-Star, Tomas Kaberle is the second all-time leading scorer among Toronto Maple Leaf Defensemen, which is no small feat considering we are talking about an Original Six Team.

Kaberle had one of the most accurate shots (and of course passes) in hockey and in the 2006-07 season he had a 58 Assist season, which was good enough for tenth overall. With the Leafs, he had seven 40 Point seasons while maintaining a steady defensive presence. He would also have four campaigns where he had votes for the Lady Byng and four where he received Norris Trophy votes, though he never finished in the top ten. While he will always be known for what he did in Toronto he would later win a Stanley Cup with the Boston Bruins in 2011.

Internationally speaking, Kaberle would win a Bronze Medal with the Czech Republic in the 2004 World Cup and 2006 Olympics.
