I think something similar happened with David Musil. Born in Calgary, but holds Czech Citizenship and as he was declared to play with the Czech National Team he technically became an import. He also had dual citizenship and lived both in Czech and Canada.
I believe Selanne falls under the same rule as while he has North American citizenship, he is technically a foreign player (i.e. will not play for Canada or the USA in international tournaments) and has residence outside of the USA.
