It was so nice that he recently managed to come back to Toronto (just a couple of weeks ago) with his family for a special tribute at Maple Leaf Gardens. They did a really nice video and a lot of his old Leaf team mates came back to celebrate him and you could tell both his and his extended family were really touched by the response from everyone. He was certainly one of the greatest Leafs ever@
Very sad for sure.
I was a big hockey fan as a kid - I was as huge a Leafs fan as an Argos fan until the mid-1990s - so the deaths of Bossy, Lafleur, and now Salming have been tough to see this year. My favourite Leafs were Salming and Mike Palmateer.

People (rightfully) associated him with Sittler, McDonald, Tiger, etc, but it is easy to forget that he actually played with the Leafs through 1988-1989 and was thus present for most of the Ballard circus of the 1980's. From all indications he remained a pro throughout all of that.
