Nope, more the TBD category (but very likely to join Piet and Jones).
I'd argue that all of the D except G Reinhart (bust) and Hickey (meh-) are/were solid 2/3 D-men, and probably all more valuable to their teams than the 'meh' forwards.

Bryan Allen
Rostislav Klesla

Ultimately, I count 7-10 homerun picks in 30 years...so odds a little worse than 1/3.

6 busts (injuries for several), 5 middle-six F's, and 10 top line players.
MZ, MT, and SM could all conceivably crack that impressive top 5 when all is said and done.

2012 Hampus Lindholm 502 193
2004 Al Montoya 168 5 (G)
