To no one's surprise our #1 Toronto Maple Leaf under 25 is Auston Matthews!

However, this will be the last time picking number one will be so easy. Auston Matthews turns 25 on Friday (September 17) and ages out of the Top 25 after having an amazing seven year run as #1.

### The Player

We know who he is.

Everyone knows who he is.

What Auston Matthews has accomplished as a Maple Leaf before he turned 25 is more than most players of any age ever accomplish as a Leaf.

As of the end of last season, Matthews sits:

**Ninth** in total goals as a Maple Leaf with **259**. He is already in the top ten of Maple Leafs goal scorers. Averaging 43 goals per season, he is on pace to break Mats Sundins all-time record of **420** in three to four seasons.

Matthews has **198** assists. A lot farther down the list than he is with goals (**32nd**) but he will get to the 200 mark in his first couple of games this season,

**457** points. **15th** all-time. An average of **65** points per season. Barring a disaster he’ll break **500** this season, and will come close to Rick Vaive who sits at #10 with **537.**

Power play goals? **63!** Only **three** away from bumping Dave Keon (**65)** out of **5th** all-time.

Don’t ask about short-handed goals, he doesn’t have any.

Game winners though? **45\.** He’s **5th** all-time, six away from taking Ron Ellis’ spot at #4.

Don’t forget, **60** goals. He scored 60 goals while playing **73** games last season. Not even a full season! He holds the record for most goals scored in a single season for the Maple Leafs. He is the first American to score 60 in a season. The first player to score 60 goals in a decade since Steven Stamkos did it in 2012.

**60 GOALS**

Auston Matthews has won **two** Rocket Richard trophies, **one** Hart Trophy, **one** Ted Lindsay trophy, **one** Calder trophy, and been a finalist for another Hart and two Lady Byngs.

### The Votes

He was unanimously number one, anyone who would have voted otherwise was catapulted into Senators fandom.
