News: Qualifying Offers Thread

[caley]

Since the Caps have 10 RFAs or so, I presume he's only talking about the ones who were regulars on the team this year.

I find today is an underrated day for hockey, there is always a few really interesting guys that don't get a QO, whether due to fear of a possible arbitration award or something else. Thanks for doing this caley

Aren't they due at 5pm today?

Just thought they would have been coming in by now, but since it's just a list of names it's probably gonna be closer til the deadline

Yeah, I think sometimes we don't even hear until the following day for some teams.

Agreed, also could add some intrigue to a very bad FA pool.

I also find it interesting which guys accept their QOs and which borderline NHLers and depth recalls decline and then later sign for a lower NHL salary and higher AHL one.

The deadline is Monday.

asked this elsewhere but ill ask here.

do teams structure qualifying offers to fringe players with a very low AHL salary to try and work on a later number with a lower NHL # but higher AHL #?

That happens for sure. I wouldn't describe it as "structuring," because they aren't making a qualifying offer with some odd distribution; they just make a qualifying offer to make sure they retain their rights and then continue to work on a different contract that satisfies both parties. The player can always sign the qualifying offer instead, but qualifying then settling on a different contract is common enough.

I think it's usually the other way around on salary, though. The player wants a higher guaranteed AHL salary (probably a one-way deal), the team will accommodate if the max salary is lower.

Like Toronto for instance. We had to qualify one of our RFA goalies before the expansion draft to meet the exposed goalie requirements. That was required 8 days ago. We still have no idea which guy got qualified

Pirri and Clendening not getting qualifying offers. Decision still out on Skapski.

It was Sparks.

Do you have a source? I haven't seen anything anywhere. I'd assume it would have been Sparks, I'm not even sure if they'd qualify Bibeau at this point, I just hadn't heard anything.

NHL list of players made available to Vegas.

NHL list of players made available to Vegas.

Both Sparks and Bibeau are RFA until they don't get a qualifying offer(just 1 of them had to be qualifed in advance), both were on the list of players Vegas could pick

They're both there. Do you have a link that shows him on the listed as already qualified?
