The following players were returned to their respective junior clubs: Louis Domingue, goaltender, Quebec (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League); Kale Kessy, forward, Medicine Hat (WHL); Mark Visentin, goaltender, Niagara (Ontario Hockey League).

The Coyotes were smart to take Visentin in the first round, knowing they would probably lose Ilya Bryzgalov to free agency. Last season he posted a 2.52 GAA and .917 SV% for the Niagra IceDogs, establishing himself as one of the better goalie prospects. Expect him to take over between the pipes in a few years.
