| | USATODAY.com - Modano rockets up list of America's best ever (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | If you remember last year's list, you will recall that my eligibility requirement is that the player has to be either born in the U.S. or to have considered himself American by virtue of his decision to play for the U.S. national team. |
 | | Jeremy Roenick (1988-89 to present, Chicago, Phoenix and Philadelphia): Roenick is already sixth on the American-born NHL scoring list, and his spunkiness symbolizes the new breed of American player. |
 | | Keith Tkachuk (1991-92 to present, Winnipeg, Phoenix and St. Louis): Tkachuk has fallen on my list, only because he is now known more as a player with something to prove, rather than the intimidating power forward he is. For the past decade, he has averaged almost one point a game. |
