I promised this a couple days ago and even though the Canadian version didn't seem to go over well, I might as well at lest finish the duology off.

In honor of the 4th of July, what is your all-time Sharks roster composed only of American-born or raised players?

Try to build a full standard roster of 4 forward lines, 2 d-pairings, and 2 goaltenders. Anything else you want to add (extra skaters, 3rd string goalie, special teams, etc) is gravy and not necessary.

Here is the entirely underwhelming franchise-history list of American players to play for San Jose, listed alphabetically by position (though you don't have to be so strict positionally if you don't want to. Some fudging among forward positions is totally understandable

Also only consider what the player did as a Shark. Jeremy Roenick's prime as a Blackhawk/Coyote/Flyer is not relevant. His tenure in teal is all that matters.

You can find a mostly complete list here (it's only missing I think Noesen. Stats are also a tiny bit off for the handful of guys from the last couple years like Labanc, but mostly correct historically)
