Modano is probably the GOAT, with Housley and Roenick right behind.

A little optimistic with Toronto in the playoffs, aren't you?
Definitely Mike Modano, in my opinion. But I don't think that's going to last forever because the American hockey system has become much much better over the last twenty years and there are lots of great American players in the league right now.
However, if your question had been "who was the best American hockey player?" then I would've said Brett Hull, but you said "American-born" hockey player, and Hull wasn't born in the States, so the answer is Modano.
This was just announced:
Flyers to host the Rangers in the 2012 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic January 2, 2012 at Citizens Bank Park (home of the Philadelphia Phillies):

The Second-Hottest Man in my Mother's Basement
I'm not a Leaf fan. No reason for optimism, I just think they'll beat out Buffalo and NJ for that 8th spot. They added some good pieces in Franson and Lombardi. Resigning McCarthur and Reimer was good too.
Possibly, but they are still stuck with the same old crap ass coaching. The coaching style that sucks life and talent from good players.
Heatley will and hope do better with the Wild this year.
Wilson certainly isn't a Stanley Cup calibre coach...yet, but he's good enough to get a team into the playoffs.
At this rate MN will never get the Winter Classic. They are too much of a small market club. It would be cool to get a border Jets/Wild Classic but at this rate it will never happen.
I hope my Penguins can keep on playing the way they have been come the regular season. 5-0, and that's without Crosby.
Quebec Nordiques.
Why the fuck is Winnipeg still in Atlanta's old division? The only reason that would be good would be to keep those poor bastards up there happy 41 games out of the year, having to depart from -40 weather in Manitoba. What an inhospitable environment for a pro sports team. My dad still want to see all the Canadian rivals (old and new) battle in their own conference, and I do too, but I like the Wild having all the Canadian teams in their division as well.

I'm so horny, even the crack of dawn isn't safe
Agreeded. Think Chelios wins by a nose for better overal player and leader.
Both are hall of Famers so..
Yeah, one can never count out the Nords! :thumbsup:
That would be excellent. What's your source for this news?
You can take this with a grain of salt, but if you're familiar with The Score's Drafted series, http://www.drafted.ca/, a friend of mine competed. He didn't win, but he made friends in the business and often has inside info and rumours on certain trades, signings, etc before they hit the air. They aren't always true, but this specific example, (Redwings moving East) coupled with the fact that Ilitch and Bettman openly have a verbal agreement on the subject and the impending realignment next year, it has credibility. I know Columbus and Nashville are also trying to go East, and that could still be a possibility, but that would take a lot more than a 1 for 1 switch with Winnipeg.
