It has more to do with which country you hold a citizenship with, not necessarily where you were born.
Edit: You can also count Paul DiPietro. Born in Canada but got Swiss citizenship and plays for their national team. | nice pwnage..nvm!

The Sedins play for Sweden.. Kesler for USA.. so ya..lol | They might if they want him to fill a certain roll. In 2002 they had Peca who has a career high 60 points and in 2006 they had Draper who's career high points for a season is 40.
He hasn't got one yet and he probably won't get an invite but if he comes out strong this season it's still possible although probably not likely. He would be looked at as a gritty roll player with an offensive upside not to light the lamp and lead the team in goals.

Sedin Sedin Samuelsson
Burrows Kesler Demitra
Bernier Hodgson Raymond
Rypien Johnson Hordi
With Schroeder and Grabner on the wings...we have some good forward depth. I can bet Demitra will get injured in the middle of the season and we will have Grabner come in. Kyle Wellwood can go jerk himself in the corner.
we just need some D now!!

I hope Grabner comes up and steals Raymonds spot, I'm not a big fan.

hmm.. i think i'd prefer raymond, and alot of people have said that if grabner ever does break into the NHL, he wont be able to play a 4th line role, he needs to be in a scoring position etc.
i'd say White is pretty much a write-off if ganger is saying he needs to reinvent himself
