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.
3pm where I am , but yes they areAren't they due at 5pm today?

Yeah, I think sometimes we don't even hear until the following day for some teams.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
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
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.Agreed, also could add some intrigue to a very bad FA pool.
The deadline is Monday.
Well, that explains why today is so quiet on that front.
weird I thought it was the 25th. well damn

I'm so confused lol but either way it doesn't really matter it's just an extra day
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 #?

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
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.
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?
