Holland has produced only 21 such players to McPhee's 25. (Hell, Holland isn't much better than Button/Sutter were - they were at 20 combined)
100 games is a bad metric, I might have managed to find the one metric where McPhee is not the worst drafting GM over the that time period. Either way he would be awful for a rebuilding team through the draft.
