Don Metz, Rest in Peace

Don Metz was 91. He was the right winger who helped the Toronto Maple Leafs win five Stanley Cups in the 1940s.
Don Metz played a significant role in our 1942 comeback from a 3-0 deficit against the Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup finals. In Game Five, he scored three goals and two assists to lead the Leafs to a 9-3 victory. He also scored the game-winning goal in Game Six. What makes his accomplishment more successful is that he was not put in the lineup until the Leafs were down 3-0; the Leafs won all four games in which he was dressed.

All former Leafs are passing away. Will we we have ANY Leaf players left when we win the next cup?
I don't think so.
