Devils’ prospect Jon Merrill informed Red Berenson this morning that he will return to the University of Michigan for his junior season, the Wolverines head coach said.

“Johnny talked with me this morning and indicated he’ll be coming back,” Berenson told the Detroit News today. “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.”
