Have you spent hours worrying about how the Leafs draft short players? Are you unsure who to blame for this? Is it the Norse, the Finns, the Russians? Was it Dubas in the arena with the measuring tape?

Now you can know who was short when drafted, when this happened, and where these short people came from. Of course, short in the NHL context means anyone under six feet, so here they are.

This is 153 of the 522 players the Leafs have drafted. Might be too big to scroll on a phone, though. Note that data is from the NHL draft records and would be the information as given at the time of the draft.
