POLL: Who is the best U.S. born Kings player of all-time?

Happy 4th of July to all the MayorsManor readers and a special thank you to all the military personnel and their families. We appreciate all that you do to keep us safe and allow us to spend so much time thinking about hockey, instead of the horrible things people in other parts of the world deal with on a daily basis.

With that said, here's a little Americana themed poll for today - who's the best U.S. born player to ever play for the Kings?

The top 10 candidates are listed below in alphabetical order:

Dustin Brown - first round draft pick (2003), 305 points (141g, 164a) in 513 games played with the Kings

Jimmy Carson - first round draft pick (1986), 561 points in 626 NHL games, including 219 games for the Kings over four seasons (108g, 111a)

Craig Conroy - 542 points in 1,009 regular season NHL games, including 82 points in 130 games with the Kings

Later tonight, Kings prospect Derek Forbort and the North Dakota Fighting Sioux will continue their quest for an eighth NCAA National Championship.

Other former college players on the Kings roster this season include every defenseman not named Drew Doughty and forwards Scott Parse, Dustin Penner and Kevin Westgarth.

So, with that in mind, here are the Kings All-Time, All-College first and second teams...
