08:34 AM ET 05.31 | The Coyotes shocked the NHL community when they selected Blake Wheeler, a 17-year-old high school player from Minnesota, with the fifth overall pick of the 2004 draft. Nearly four years later, Wheeler has shocked the Coyotes by deciding not to sign with them, thus becoming an unrestricted free agent. Wheeler's agent Matt Keator said Wheeler would not comment publicly until he signs with another team. Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky could not be reached, but Maloney said Gretzky recently phoned Keator.
