If this list were regarding overall importance to the organization, Lou Nanne would be in the top ten.  Following his playing days, he served as the team’s coach for a brief time and as General Manager for a decade. It was under his leadership that Minnesota built one of the more exciting teams of the 80s, which featured a trip to the Stanley Cup.

Dennis Hextall was only with the Minnesota North Stars for four and a half seasons, but the plucky, undersized forward put up his best career numbers while there.

Like many Defenceman Gordie Roberts did not light the lamp often, but he did provide offensive spark, providing the Minnesota North Stars with 30 Assists or more five times.  Perhaps calling Roberts a “spark” is inaccurate, as he was better classified as a rugged player who could steal the puck and help create a counterattack, something that he did often.  While Roberts did not win a Cup with the North Stars, his veteran presence was felt in the Penguins' back-to-back titles.

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.
