The season is over, the [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) locked up 30th place, and all is right in the world, at least until draft lottery day when all our dreams come crashing down because of a certain other franchise, probably.

At the same time! There are still season post-mortems to be done as we look at the team we spent the past six months cheering for (against?), and with that comes a pretty unmistakeable stat: the Leafs were more injured than every other team in the NHL.

Granted, I do believe [Stephane Robidas](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55179/stephane-robidas?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) is counted in those 448 games; at the same time, though, would a veteran presence such as his have helped the Leafs in-game? There's no way to tell for sure, but by the end of the season the defence was nothing more than a collection of children, so possibly.

And losing a guy like [James van Riemsdyk](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/70845/james-van-riemsdyk?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) definitely didn't help. There were legitimate injuries the Leafs suffered, even though injuries aren't the reason why they finished at the bottom of the standings.

Still, here's (hopefully) to a healthier 2016-17!
