Sweden can extradite, but not without permission from the UK. The terms of the European Arrest Warrant states that Sweden can't extradite him to a third country without permission from the UK. This means the US would have to convince two governments instead of one.
The UK will extradite to the US for a capital offence, but only with a written assurance that the death penalty will not be applied. I don't think the US would risk its extradition treaty for the sake of one person.
The question the Assange fans never seem to want to answer is why, if the US secretly wants to have Assange extradited, they didn't do that in the months when he was under house arrest in the UK. Why would they concoct an elaborate conspiracy to get him to Sweden so they could extradite from there, when it would be harder than extraditing from the UK?
