After joining the Oilers in a trade for Eddie Mio, Nethery played only three more NHL games, despite putting up two points.
He joined the Frankfurt Lions as head coach on April 11, 2002, and was subsequently elevated to general manager on February 5, 2003, leading the team to its first championship.
