Sundin would play three more seasons with the Nordiques before being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He would spend the majority of his NHL career in Toronto, playing with the Leafs between the 1994-95 and 2007-08 seasons.

Sundin was also no stranger to the back of the hockey net, as he put 564 pucks in goal during his 18 NHL seasons. Pair this with his 785 assists, and you have his tremendous total of 1,349 career points.
Sundin's strongest season offensively came in 1992-93, when he had 114 points (47 goals and 67 assists).
