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.

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.
