Prior to being a North Star, Al MacAdam was a two-time All-Star with the Cleveland Barons, the team that merged its assets with Minnesota in 1978.  The Right Winger might not have been named an All-Star while he played for Minnesota, but it was while wearing the green, gold, and white that he had his best season, a 94 Point campaign in 1979-80, where he would also win the Bill Masterton Trophy.

Tim Young spent the majority of his professional career with the Minnesota North Stars, where he averaged a very good .88 Points per Game.  In his second season, Young was named an All-Star and finished the season with 95 Points, which was good enough for 5th in the NHL.  While he never finished in the top ten in scoring again, he did have two more seasons of 60 or more Points.

While somewhat injury-prone, Fred Barrett found a way to play 745 Games in the National Hockey League (730 of which were with the North Stars).  Barrett was an energetic force on the ice and in the locker room, making him an asset to the team despite his relatively low production on the box score.

J.P. Parise was one of the many beneficiaries of the 1967 Expansion, and in his late 20s would find a solid footing as a top forward for the Minnesota North Stars.  Parise would score 70 Points in two different seasons, the first of which (1969-70) would see him finish seventh in the NHL in Points and sixth in Assists.  Twice an All-Star with Minnesota, Parise would go on to play for the New York Islanders and later Cleveland, and due to the team's merger with Minnesota, he would return to the team where he had his greatest glory.  He would serve as the team’s Captain in what would be his final year in the NHL.
