32. Tomas Kaberle

32. Tomas Kaberle

The Toronto Maple Leafs chose Czech Defenseman Tomas Kaberle in the Eighth Round of the 1996 NHL Draft, and it turned out to be a steal.

Kaberle first played for the Maple Leafs in the 1998-99 season, and before long, he was the team's top blueliner.  Kaberle scored at least 40 Points seven times for Toronto, peaking at 67 in 2005-06.  A four-time All-Star, Kaberle was excellent on the power play and had 520 Points over his tenure in the Maple Leafs.

Kaberle was traded to Boston during the 2010/11 Season and would win a Stanley Cup that year with the Bruins.  As a Leaf, Kaberle scored 520 Points.
