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.

Grant scored 34 Goals that year and would be chosen for the first would be three straight All Star Games.  Grant would have another two 30 Goal seasons for the North Stars through the use of his well above average wrist shot.  He would later become a 50 Goal scorer in Detroit the season after he was traded there.
