40. Dennis Hextall

Dennis Hextall was only with the Minnesota North Stars for four and half seasons but the plucky undersized forward out up the best numbers of his career playing there.

44. Gordie Roberts

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 counter attack, something that he did often.  While Roberts did not win a Cup with the North Stars his veteran presence was felt in back-to-back titles with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

41. Al MacAdam

Prior to being a North Star, Al MacAdam was a two-time All Star with 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.

34. Tim Young

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.
