Where are they now?
Hrdina? Officially retired in 2011 after not playing for 2 seasons due to multiple hip surgeries.
Leroux? Retired at the end of the 2002-03 season. Came out of retirement to play for the St Jean Chiefs in 2007. Eventually was signed by the Nailers halfway into the 2007-08 season. Put up terrible numbers (1 assist and a -20 in 28 GP) before retiring again. Ran into him in Pittsburgh earlier this year.
Focht? I guess the one good thing about the lockout was that it kept Focht from returning to the NHL. Focht made Francois Leroux look like Scott Niedermayer. Spent two seasons in the AHL after leaving Pittsburgh. Focht retired after the 2005-06 season, although I'm sure he's ruining some men's league team somewhere.
Abid? Hasn't been in NHL since 2007, but he's lighting up the Austrian League this year (51 pts in 54 GP)
Lefebvre? Briefly resurfaced in the NHL with the Bruins a season or two ago, he's now in Austria playing against Abid.
