This question is difficult to answer as the AHL is the main development league for the NHL. While some gifted players come right out of junior, college or Europe and step right into the NHL, the vast majority of NHL players have played in the AHL at some point for varying amounts of time until they have developed their skills. There is, obviously, no rule about how many players can come from the minor league. NHL teams recall their players as they see a need.
There have been a total 212 Minnesotans in the NHL (197 skaters + 15 goaltenders) as of January 2011. Minnesota has produced the most NHL players from the U.S. states.

The San Jose Sharks sented 8 of its players to the 2010 Olympic games, the most for any NHL team.
Still Canada since the beginning...
