The 2016–17 Toronto Maple Leafs season was the 100th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on November 22, 1917.^[1] The Maple Leafs finished the season with 95 points (their highest in 12 years) and qualified for the playoffs for the first time since the 2012–13 season. The Leafs lost two games to four in the first round against the Washington Capitals.

Off-season

The off-season was relatively quiet for the Maple Leafs relative to previous seasons. On July 1, the opening day of free agency, Toronto signed forward Matt Martin to a four-year, $10 million contract, then brought back defenceman Roman Polak on a one-year deal the following day. Justin Holl, who had played with the Marlies the previous season, also signed a one-year deal. At the end of July, forward Trevor Moore from the University of Denver signed a three-year, entry-level contract after impressing the organization during rookie training camp a few weeks earlier, which Moore had been personally invited to. No more moves were made until nearly a month later when, on August 22, Jhonas Enroth was signed to a one-year deal to backup newly acquired goaltender Frederik Andersen.^[2] Mark Hunter was also promoted to an assistant general manager, while Brandon Prust and Raman Hrabarenka were signed to professional try outs.

Playoffs

The Maple Leafs clinched a playoff spot for the first time since the 2012–13 season. They qualified as the second wildcard team in the Eastern Conference and faced the Washington Capitals, the division winner with the best record, in the first round. Washington won the series in 6 games, 4–2. This was the third playoff series in NHL history where five games were decided in overtime, the first occurring in the 1951 Stanley Cup Finals between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens, and the second in the 2012 Western Conference Quarterfinals between the Phoenix Coyotes and the Chicago Blackhawks.
