ESPN.com's experts are already cobbling together their Canadian and American rosters for the 2010 Olympics, and Scott Burnside has put a Cap on each team: Chris Clark [Team USA]Neither E.J. Hradek nor Pierre LeBrun have
Captain of the Washington Capitals had 30 goals two seasons ago and will go through a wall for you.
Mike Green [Team Canada]
Led all NHL defensemen with 18 goals last season and skates like the wind. Surely there's room on this squad for a player like that.
Update: Corey = teh smart

In another year it wouldn't surpise me if Green establishes himself over some of those guys but Canada's talent pool is so loaded I don't think it's shocking to picture a scenario leaving Green off.

His thesis was basically as follows:
1. Nylander is paid like a top-2 center;
2. He would play the pivot on a top-2 line for many teams; but
3. He is a third-line center for the Caps.
Thus the incentive for the Caps to trade him.
I'm not sure I agree with #3, above. I think Nyls ends up on the second line and Fedorov on the third line. I also have reservations about team depth if Nyls leaves.
Here's the link.

My thought on 2010 with current Caps Olympians:
USA: Clark, Poti
Canada: Green
Russia: Ovechkin, Semin, (Fedorov?)
Sweden: Backstrom, Nylander
Finland: Lepisto
Slovakia: Jurcina
Outside chances for Fleishmann for the Czechs, and Kozlov and Varlamov for Russia
