According to Eurohockey.net, Michael Frolik and Rostislav Olesz will be playing for the Czech national team in the upcoming World Championship. The other NHLers on the Czech team are Ales Hemsky, Ales Kotalik (both from the Edmonton Oilers) and Marek Zidlicky (Minnesota), and they'll be joined, of course, by Jaromir Jagr. Tomas Vokoun won't be playing. All 26 players can be found at Eurohockey.net or the IIHF website.
Recently, Craig Anderson and David Booth turned down invitations to play the U.S. team, both citing their lack of contracts next season and Anderson also acknowledging a desire to rest for a bit, but Keith Ballard will be playing for the American team when the tournament begins later this week
Meanwhile, Jacob Markström, who played for the Swedish national team during their exhibition games as other players finished their pro seasons, was removed from Sweden's preliminary roster earlier this month. The three Swedish goaltenders are Stefan Liv, Johan Holmqvist and Jonas Gustavsson.
Further solidifying the belief that Jacob Markström will be leaving Sweden after this upcoming season was Brynäs's recent acquisition of 21-year-old goaltender Eddie Läck from Leksand.
