I'm surprised that Aebi hasn't gotten another shot considering he did well in his only game and Auld hasn't gotten the job done. P.O. Pelletier wasn't given a contract, so he's a free agent as far as I am aware. Pretty disappointing considering the Coyotes used a second round pick on him. He's still playing in the Canadian Junior leagues as an overager, but it appears that his pro potential is minimal.
As far as goalies go, the Coyotes have the rights of Brett Bennett (5th round 2006), Joel Gistedt (2nd round 2007), and Scott Darling (7th round 2007). Brett Bennett back in 2005 got the bulk of the playing time for an absolutely loaded US Under 18 team (that year they had Patrick Kane, Phil Kessel, Jack Johnson, Erik Johnson, plus Coyotes Chris Summers and Peter Mueller) and performed well for them in a season shorted by injury. He's now with Boston University, a great hockey program, and has a shot at the starters role there.
Joel Gistedt is probably the best of the bunch, but is considered somewhat of a project. Swedish fans claim similarities between Gistedt and Henrik Lundqvist. Lundqvist spent 5 years in the Swedish league with Frolunda (who Gistedt also plays for) and Gistedt is expected to take a similar, lengthy time.
Scott Darling is considered even more of a project. He's currently with Indiana in the USHL but his numbers have been pretty brutal. However, he is headed to a good hockey program in the University of Maine, so its basically a wait and see type thing with him. The big theme with these guys is that they're all going to take time. Gistedt is a quality prospect and I have high hopes for Bennett, but it is going to take several years for either of them to even get a look with the Coyotes.
