Yeah, I had a look. It seems to be an issue with a few players running into a specific series of events: they get signed to an ELC, are loaned back to their junior team normally, but then for some reason, at the start of their overage season, they don't return to the NHL team but instead remain on the junior team's roster. Then, at the end of that season, the routine that releases all the players aging out of major junior catches them and they're released as if they had been contracted to the junior team.
Normally, NHL-contracted players won't be sent back to junior as overagers, so the last one is working as intended; the problem is in their failure to be returned to an NHL roster in the offseason of their 19-year-old year. Haven't been able to figure out the cause of that yet, since it's not happening consistently (most players in that situation are returned properly), but I'm going to be keeping an eye out for this when we get to the testing and bug-fixing stages for 9.
