16. John Klingberg

From Sweden, John Klingberg was an Alternate Captain of the Dallas Stars who averagedat least two thirds a point per Game as a Star.  Klingberg won the World Hockey Championship with Sweden in 2017 and has scored 40 Points or more in his first five seasons in the NHL, his best being a 67 Point campaign in 2017-18, where he was ninth in Assists.

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.

49. Barry Gibbs

The best run of Barry Gibbs’ career was easily the five and a half seasons where he played for Minnesota.  Gibbs was a bit of an undisciplined blueliner early in his North Stars tenure but he would put together two straight 30 Point seasons where he also reduced his costly penalties that had impeded him earlier in his career.  For his efforts, he would be named an All Star in 1973.

47. Alex Goligoski

Alex Gologoski won a Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins (2009) prior to being traded to the Dallas Stars but it was in the Lone Star State where he would post his biggest individual numbers.  Gologoski was never known to light the lamp but he was a solid playmaker providing Dallas with five straight 20 Assist seasons.
