Mike Modano

The 1992–93 Minnesota North Stars season was the North Stars' 26th and final season of the franchise in Minnesota.

Although the team improved on its previous season and finished only two games below .500, it was only good enough in fifth place in the Norris Division. Minnesota finished three points behind St. Louis for the final playoff spot in the division. Four North Stars (Russ Courtnall, Ulf Dahlen, Dave Gagner and Mike Modano) reached the 30-goal plateau.

Offseason

On June 8, general manager Bobby Clarke resigned in order to return to the Philadelphia Flyers as a senior vice president. Head coach Bob Gainey was named the team's new general manager.

Regular season

Bobby Smith retired after the season.

Relocation to Dallas

In 1993, amid further attendance woes and bitter personal controversy, North Stars owner Norm Green obtained permission to move the team to the Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas, where they were renamed, 'specifically', the Stars. The NHL, to quell the controversy, 'promised' to the fans of Minnesota to return in the future with a new franchise. That promise came true when the franchise was awarded in 1997 and began play in 2000.
