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.

In terms of tenure, Richard Matvichuk is near the top of the list.  The Defenceman is one of the few players who have had over 700 Games for the Dallas Stars (733).  Maavichuk was not known for his offensive style, but his stay-at-home defensive style was sound and helped the Stars win their first Stanley Cup in 1999.  He was with the organization for twelve years, which certainly made him worth a first-round selection.
