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.

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.
