Yes, when he was called upon to be one, he was possibly the best damn fighter in the league, but he was reluctant to do so. Clark Gillies was a pretty darn good goal scorer who played a disciplined game up and down his wing. He was inducted in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2002. I don't think you will find the other players mentioned above in the HOF.
Also never broke 100 penalty minutes in a season. If he was a goon, he was doing it wrong.
