Question 4

Current or past name acceptable. It took 20 years in the NHL draft for an American to be taken as the #1 overall pick (Brian Lawton in 1983), with the second being Mike Modano in 1988. Both of these men were drafted by this franchise. This team relocated in 1993, despite its losing record in 1991 that resulted in a miracle run to the Stanley Cup Finals (which they lost to Pittsburgh) - that relocation was pushed by the owner's (Norm Green) wife who demanded the team move after a sexual harassment lawsuit was filed against her husband. Identify this franchise that finally did win the Cup in 1999 with Mike Modano.

Minnesota North Stars (or Dallas Stars)
