Alex Gologoski won a Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins (2009) before 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.

Craig Ludwig was brought into the then-named Minnesota North Stars to provide a veteran presence on the blue line, which is exactly what he offered them for over 500 Games.

Brad Richards will always be (and rightfully so) associated first with the Tampa Bay Lightning, as it was there where he won the Lady Byng, the Conn Smythe, and the Stanley Cup.  With all of that being true, Richards was quite good in Dallas in the three years and change he played there.
