gold star for USAHOF

48. Tom McCarthy

48. Tom McCarthy
Drafted 10th overall in the 1979 Draft, Tom McCarthy would quickly reach the pros and he would be named an All Star in the 1983 season when he posted a career high 79 Points.  While he was not an All Star the next year he would however light the lamp 39 times, also a career high.  A bout of Bells Palsy would cost McCarthy the bulk of the 85-86 season and he wasn’t really the same player after that.  Still Tom McCarthy would record 333 Points for the Minnesota North Stars for a .86 Points per Game Average.
