According to The Detroit News, star defenseman Jon Merrill will return to Michigan for his junior season:

“Johnny talked with me this morning and indicated he’ll be coming back,” Berenson said Monday. “He definitely had some dialogue with New Jersey. Jon realized he only played half of the season and he wants to be ready when he makes the move. He wants to be competing for an NHL job when he does. He doesn’t want to be playing in the minors. I think it’s the right thing for him.”
