The best run of Barry Gibbs’ career was easily the five and a half seasons he spent playing for Minnesota.  Gibbs was a bit of an undisciplined blueliner early in his North Stars tenure but he would put together two straight 30-Point seasons, where he also reduced his costly penalties that had impeded him earlier in his career.  For his efforts, he would be named an All Star in 1973.

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.

By the time Philippe Boucher signed with the Dallas Stars, it was already known that he had a strong shot and could provide an offensive rush but he hadn’t really showed it consistently.  This would change in Dallas, where he would have three seasons of 30 Points, including a 51 Point year (2006-07), where he was named to his first and only All-Star Game.  The Defenceman would score 162 Points over his Dallas career.
