Brad Maxwell was known for his powerful shot and playmaking ability, which allowed him to become a potent force on the offensive side of the rink.  An All Star in 1984, Maxwell had four seasons for Minnesota where he exceeded 35 Points, his highest being a 74 Point campaign in the 1983-84 season, an excellent number for a defenseman.

While Danny Grant was a member of the Montreal Canadians' 1968 Stanley Cup Championship team, he was still considered a rookie when he was traded the following off-season to the North Stars.  This is notable as he would become the Calder Trophy winner in the 1968-69 Season.

Stephane Robidas was an offensive stud as a junior hockey player but as a professional his blueline game blossomed; especially with the Dallas Stars.  Robidas would hone a balanced game in Texas and is one of the few players of the organization to play in over 700 Games.
