The California (Golden) Seals moved to Cleveland for the 1976-77 season and became the Cleveland Barons. After two seasons in Cleveland and amassing even more debt, the NHL allowed the Barons to be merged with the equally debt ridden Minnesota North Stars. Initially the merger rejuvenated the franchise and the North Stars made the Stanley Cup finals in the 1980-81 season, eventually losing the Cup to the New York Islanders. But lean times came back and the North Stars moved to Dallas for the 1993-94 season and became the Dallas Stars.
