49. 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 following year, he would, however, light the lamp 39 times, also a career high.  A bout of Bell's 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.
