Kaspars Saulietis - Des Moines Buccaneers
Jeremy Dehner - Green Bay Gamblers
Jarmo Jokila - Omaha Lancers
Garrett Raboin - Lincoln Stars

this may be easier to work from

you could pour over hockeydb stats for a long time, the easiest way would be if the AHL, etc had lists of "where they came from"

Eliteprospects.com has a nice alumni section with stats for every team, being I'm a CR fan here is theirs

Just noticed and this may be a first, but every NHL team has a USHL alum on their roster.

Richard Bachman has made his debut in the NHL for the Dallas Stars. He is a former Cedar Rapids Roughrider. He also just picked up his first career shutout last night!

Anybody know what team has the most players from one team roster (one season) playing in the NHL or AHL?

That topic is more up to date, but it looks like multiple NHL teams have 2 former USHLers from same teams on their roster. Nothing really stands out that I can re-call from past seasons to suggest there have been more on a team at a given time. Maybe a few years ago with the Kings. As for the AHL, a quick look shows 3 from the Stampede on the Hershey Bears roster and I believe all 3 played at the same time in Sioux Falls.

I was wondering if there is/was a USHL team that has/had multiple players from the same season roster playing in the NHL/AHL.

A couple years ago Alec Martinez and Teddy Purcell played for the Kings both played together in Cedar Rapids as well.

I think I got lucky and answered my own question. Noticing a number of players making their NHL debut this year and recognizing a few I have seen play in the USHL I decided to do some checking and using the HocheyDB site I came up with this for players currently on active NHL team roster and/or played in at least one NHL game this season.

All the players below were on the same USHL team during one season.

Joe Vitale --- Pittsburgh Penguins
Nate Prosser --- Minn Wild
Andrea Nodl ---Philidelphia Flyers/Carolina Hurricanes
Joe Finley --- Buffalo Sabres
T. J. Oshie --- St Louis Blues
Ben Holmstrom --- Philidelphia Flyers
Ryan Thang --- Nashville Predators

Andrew carroll --- Hershey Bears
Patrick Mullen --- Manchester Monarchs

There may be other examples from the history of the USHL for me to find of multiple players in the NHL from the same roster of a USHL team.

This year the Chicago Black Hawks had Brandon Bollig and Jimmy Hayes playing with them and both of them played for the 2007/2008 Lincoln Stars. That Stars club also had Matt Bartkowski who played for the Boston Bruins and Jason Gregoire who played in the AHL this year.
