Nödl was until last season ... 183 NHL games for Philadelphia and Carolina. Then he tore his ACL after being sent down to the AHL in March and didn't get a contract this summer. He went back to Austria ... still not back to his strength though (11 points in 24 games).
Baumgartner was drafted twice (in 1997 and 1999) and played in the QMJHL, IHL, AHL, ECHL, CHL and WCHL ... never made it to the big show though. Has been playing in Austria since 2003.
