20. Dave Gagner

Dave Gagner would prove to blossom as a Minnesota North Star, where he would score 70 points five seasons in a row.  The move to Dallas saw Gagner net another 60 Point season.  The decade that Gagne spent as a North Star/Star was by far the most productive of his career, and he averaged .88 Points per Game.  This may have occurred during the highest scoring period in the NHL, but it is still impressive regardless of the era.  Gagner was named an All-Star in 1991.

23. Trevor Daley

A tough and athletic Defenseman, Trevor Daley played over 700 Games with the Dallas Stars, providing toughness and leadership —everything you want in a hockey player.  Daley was never an All-Star caliber player, but his overall play and lengthy tenure warrant his place on this list.

18. Kari Lehtonen

Kari Lehtonen may not have had the playoff success that other Dallas Stars Goalies have had, but he hasn’t exactly had the support that other franchise backstops have enjoyed either.

17. Joe Nieuwendyk

Prior to arriving in Dallas, Joe Nieuwendyk was already a proven winner with the Calgary Flames.  In Calgary, he was a Calder Trophy Winner, a King Clancy Winner, a two-time 50 Goal scorer, and a Stanley Cup Champion.  He would repeat the latter with Dallas.
