Columbus

Turner Stevenson (traded to New Jersey to complete an earlier transaction)

Minnesota

Mike Vernon (traded to Calgary for Dan Cavanaugh and an eighth-round pick (Joe Campbell) in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft)
Chris Terreri (traded with a ninth-round pick (Thomas Ziegler) in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft to New Jersey for Brad Bombardir)
Joe Juneau (traded to Phoenix for Rickard Wallin)

Other players who were no longer on the rosters of the teams which drafted them for the 1999–2000 season include the following:

Columbus

Dallas Drake (signed by St. Louis on July 1, 2000)
Mathieu Schneider (signed by Los Angeles on August 13, 2000)
Dwayne Roloson (signed with AHL's Worcester IceCats rather than joining Columbus)
