It’s obvious McCarthy doesn’t belong in the Hall of Fame. I included him only for completeness sake, given that he was very good offensively for one season in the NHL.[5. Playing in half as many games as the rest of his team, he came in third in scoring, though he was playing with Joe Malone] In his other pro-seasons outside the NHL, he did not dominate and he actually moved to the US so he could play amateur hockey for a while before he found his way into the NHL. Not an illustrious career.
