However, I disagree with your sentiment regarding contract over country. I think you'd be surprised to see the number of players, especially Russian, who would take on heavy fines to play in the Olympics. I'm sure many of these players dreamed of playing for their country in the Olympics before they mused of dollar signs and the NHL. Enjoyed the article.

It would be a horrible move for them NOT to take the two weeks off every four years. The NHL needs all the free publicity they can get.
