5. Camille Henry

Henry was like no other player on this list in more ways than one. Firstly, he was the smallest player in the NHL at the time, standing just 5’7” when he debuted with the Rangers in 1954-55. That didn’t stop him from doing big things, however, as he won the Calder Trophy that year, beating out Jean Beliveau for the honor.

The second thing that made him like no other on the list is that he was actually traded to the AHL’s Providence Reds. He would return to the NHL two seasons later as an offensive force for the Rangers.

Over the next seven full seasons (and the half season he played before being dealt to Chicago in 1964-65), Henry failed to top 20 goals just once, an injury-plagued 1959-60 season. His best effort came when he buried 37 pucks in 60 games in 1962-63.

Henry would make a final return to the Rangers midway through the 1967-68 season, playing 36 games before moving on to St. Louis the next season.

Despite his size and injury issues that plagued him throughout his career, Henry was a force to be reckoned with and more than made up for his size disadvantage with tenacity and offensive ability.
