Not surprised. The only player I thought would be released is Flynn. His agent confirmed that are negotiating a new contract.
Not Thomas..
God no.. just go away.

Thomas may become a quality bottom six player. We were at our best this season when we had a young, speedy bottom six, with Bournival, Thomas, Sekac, and Andrighetto. Our record was the best (winning percentage wise) and imo we controlled the play best. Our team speed on all four lines wore teams down. When we went to a slower lineup with DSP et al, we became an average team in terms of speed and we were a .500 team.
Well why wouldn't they keep Flynn if the QO was low? No risk at all since you can trade him instead of releasing him.

Yes. Great idea let's just let young players leave for free, genius. Jesus aren't you one of the people who always preaches about asset management?

Why don't you guys like Flynn? He's really not as bad as some of you think he is.
Thomas isn't an asset. He's going to either play in the AHL or get claimed on waivers. He's not even worth a 7th round pick.
he would get you more then a 7th jesus christ. Players a month from retirement go for more then that. There is no harm at all to qualifying him. This strikes me as typical HF over reaction/complaining to hear your own voice. It's crazy.
Young players without NHL potential don't get anything. Players a month from retirement have played in the NHL for a long time.
So, how much cap space is left now. $4.9M minus ...
Basic offers are as follows, but players can take a smaller NHL salary or larger AHL salary by choice:
Galchenyuk is eligible for one way for $874K,
Flynn is eligible for one way for $715K,
Tinordi is eligible for two way for $850K for NHL duty or $67K for AHL,
Bournival is eligible for two way $715K for NHL duty or $67K for AHL,
Thomas is eligible for two way $850K for NHL duty or $67K for AHL,
Nygren is signed in Sweden and offer will be rejected. It's only protecting NHL ownership rights.
Bowman and Tangradi most likely just gone now as UFAs.
I can't see Galchenyuk being too happy with that Qualifying Offer and no contract and will no doubt will just reject it.
