The Leafs were in Carolina on Sunday where it seemed ex-Leafs made up a good portion of the Hurricanes roster. Around the NHL, and the minors, there’s still a sizable number of ex-Leafs in uniform. Here’s a look at where they are, and how they’re doing (stats after Tuesday night’s games):

Kris Versteeg: Fourth in NHL scoring (11 goals, 25 points, plus-12), five behind Phil Kessel.

Alex Steen: Assistant captain in St. Louis; referred to as the Blues best all around player.

Hal Gill: Recently played his 1,000th career game and was honoured by the Canadiens in a ceremony in Montreal; still one of the game’s ultimate penalty killers and shut down D-men.

Viktor Stalberg: Left in the Versteeg trade; has been a top six-forward in Chicago, with top line duty and power-play time.

Matt Stajan: Rich contract and instant core status in Calgary, something that wasn’t going to happen in Toronto.

Jay Harrison: Bounced around the minors and Europe; ex-Leaf coach Paul Maurice gave him a chance in Carolina, and Harrison is now established on the blueline.

Kyle Wellwood: A bit of a renaissance in Winnipeg; after Versteeg, he’s the next highest scoring ex-Leaf, tied for 58th in the NHL with 15 points.

Nik Antropov: A core player in Winnipeg; big body helps on Jets power play.

Tim Stapleton: Has a role in Winnipeg, and is contributing — would have never happened in Toronto.

Pavel Kubina: Back where he won the Cup in ’04, Kubina is a solid veteran who has a home in Tampa.

Ian White: Fits in nicely on Wings blueline after the retirement of Brian Rafalski (on IR now having taken a slap shot to the cheek bone).

Fabian Brunnstrom: Was going no further than the Marlies in Toronto; landed in Detroit after Dallas; cleared waivers in Detroit, now bouncing between Detroit and AHL.

Dominic Moore: Has a home in Tampa and is a solid centre for the lower lines.

Carlo Colaiacovo: He was on shaky ground contractually in the off season, but is back with Blues and seeing some time on the power play.

Tomas Kaberle: Won Cup with Boston, but roundly criticized as a misfit with Bruins style of play; now with Carolina, the apparent landing ground for ex-Leafs.

Alex Ponikarovsky: With no where else to go, he’s with Maurice in Carolina. Scored two goals this week, but they need more offence from him — same knock as in Toronto.

Andrew Raycroft: Always seemed to land on his feet after Leafs — now with a first place club in Dallas

J-S Giguere: Huge favourite in Toronto is on potential playoff team in Colorado.

Scott Clemmensen: Superb season in ’09: 25 wins was the second most ever by a goalie in Devils history next to Martin Brodeur; voted unsung hero by teammates and nominated for Bill Masterton Trophy. Now with Panthers, but on a conditioning stint in the AHL.

Tuukka Rask: Drafted in the first round, 21st overall, in 05, but was traded away to Boston and never even came to Leafs camp; now a backup to Tim Thomas, and heir apparent to the No. 1 role when Thomas retires.

Vesa Toskala: NHL career went downhill in Toronto; bottomed out with moves to Anaheim then Calgary. Now plays for his hometown team in Ilves, Finland.

Tim Brent: Had a career breakout year in Toronto last season, but wasn’t going to fit in. Has two-year contract in Carolina, the first multi-year contract of his career. A good move for the Cambridge native, who never made it on to a season opening roster prior to the Leafs last season.

Lee Stempniak: Like Brent, signed a two-year contract extension last year with Phoenix; was then traded to Calgary where he is trying to fit in on the top lines.

Brendan Bell: Went from Leafs to Phoenix, Ottawa and Columbus, all in the span of two-plus seasons; signed to play in Russia, then with Swiss league after two games in the KHL; signed with the Rangers this summer and was up with the NHL team for one game, but is now back down in the AHL.

Andre Deveaux: Was with the Chicago Wolves in the AHL before coming to the Marlies, then Leafs, to fill in the tough guy role; wound up back in Chicago last year before signing a one-year deal with the Rangers for this season. Played eight games in the NHL so far this season with one assist.

Francois Beauchemin: In his second tenure with Ducks, but when he left Toronto last February, he went for Joffrey Lupul and Jake Gardiner, two big contributors in Toronto now.

Jason Blake: Hurt his wrist three games into season and hasn’t played since; nursing a shoulder injury as well. Blake seems to have fallen into obscurity in Anaheim, but latest word is he’s hoping to return early from his injury setbacks.

Anton Stralman: Was in Devils camp in the fall, then went home to Sweden without an NHL contract; Rangers needed a puck rushing D-man and took a flyer on him two weeks ago.

Juri Tlusty: Former Leafs first-rounder is with Maurice in Carolina; still not giving enough offence, but has improved his two-way game.

Kris Newbury: Another Marlie hero who never fit in with the Leafs; he moved to Detroit then the Rangers. Coach John Tortorella loved his grit and toughness, and gave him six games in the NHL to start this season.

Nik Hagman: Just claimed off waivers by Anaheim — Ducks taking a flyer on Hagman to see if he can give them some secondary scoring (top line is stuggling in Anaheim)

Justin Pogge: is currently playing with the Portland Pirates of the AHL - that's the farm team of the Coyotes.

He'd worn out his welcome in Toronto and was traded to Anaheim in August of 2009. His promise never caught up with his performance and was traded from the Ducks to the Hurricanes in March 2010, then was not renewed by Carolina this summer.

Jamal Mayers: Has appeared in all 21 games for Chicago this year; could be part of something big if Blackhawks contend for Western Conference crown.

Garnet Exelby: Signed with Detroit this season, but to provide depth on the blueline at the AHL level.

Chris DiDomenico: In the Chicago system and likely to spend a second year in the AHL with Rockford; has become excellent on faceoffs and the penalty kill.

Robbie Earl: One-time Leaf prospect is now listed as the second leading scorer with Salzburg EC, a team in the Erste Bank Hockey League, which plays out of Austria.

Mark Bell: Was attempting an NHL comeback (played with Syracuse in the AHL last season), and signed a one-year deal with Anaheim for this season.

Christian Hanson: Caught on with the Washington Capitals this season, but is playing in the AHL with Hershey.

Brett Lebda: One-time Leaf and Cup winner with Detroit is with the Springfield Falcons in the AHL.

Bryan McCabe: Still waiting for an NHL contract; is time running out on his career? Seems strange that no one wants the one-time Leaf standout. And it wasn’t that long ago (2005-06 season) when McCabe was a power-play wonder, using his one-timer set up by Tomas Kaberle to score a career-high 19 goals and 49 assists (finished third overall in scoring among NHL defenceman).
