Basically. St. Paul and Minneapolis both refused to finance a new arena and then the dick owner got caught in a cheating scandal so he decided to move to save his face. The guy is still reviled in MN and would get torn apart if he ever came anywhere near the state ever again.
Didn't the North Stars change their name to just the 'Stars' while still in Minnesota? And the owner claimed that there was nothing to the name change?
Mathmatically, Minnesota has the most players with 202, but Michigan, mathmatically, has produced the highest points per player, so u decide quantity or quality

Was googling this question and came upon this site.
ESPN Magazine did a break down not too long ago. I think Michigan produced the most players out of the States. It was a neat graphic of a puck turned into a pie chart.
Who's your Oregonian? I do recall hearing of one not too long ago (I want to say a goalie?).
The tally is birthplace per NHL, which isn't necessarily the same as the state where they grew up and developed their craft. WA includes Oshie and Dwyer.
I wish nhl.com would allow you to sort by states and provinces, in addition to nationality.

Thanks for the great resource. Here's the hit count I have for a 2011 pro search. It includes AHL and KHL, but I kind of like that.
