I doubt the NHL gets back into the olympics, that ship has sailed already. In fact in the current political climate an overall boycott may be in the cards for Beijing Games. Then the next olympics will have an Italy/Sweden host, I think we have seen the last of it as the Olympics is moving towards the newer x-games type of sports.
If the players really want to play, the NHL owners will exact a very high price from the players in the collective bargaining agreement, they will not be willing to give that up.
