Keon's Resume
15 Seasons... 1960 -1975
1052 Games as Leaf -
4th most (Armstrong 1188, Horton 1184, Salming 1099)
858 points in Blue and White-
2nd most all-time (Sittler 916)
4 Stanley Cups Rings including .. 36 points in 36 games and
The Conn Smyth Trophy winner in Leafs Last Cup in 1967 as Playoff MVP
He really doesn't need defending .. His accomplishments speak for themselves.
and as you said Pep .. Had Ballard not gotten involved Keon may never have left for the WHA .. and would have lead in all statistical categories during his distinguished career.
