John Grigg at The Hockey News takes a look at the Top 10 American born players, where he has Mike Richter checking in at #10 and Brian Leetch at #2.Chris Chelios and his three Norris' and three Stanley Cups is ranked #1.
Former Ranger Pat Lafontaine also makes the list at #3.
...while I think there is a legitimate argument to be had whether Leetch or Chelios is the top American player, no way does Tom Barrasso (#5) deserve to be ahead of Richter. Sure Barrasso had one of the greatest rookie seasons ever for a goaltender and has won two Cups, but who would you rather in goal for a Game 7 in their prime? Exactly.
