With the draft concluded, we move onto the next phase of the offseason.
Qualifying offers from teams to their Restricted Free Agents(RFAs) are due by 5 PM Eastern on Monday, July 11.
A qualifying offer must be made in order to retain the player’s rights. If no offer is made, the player becomes an Unrestricted Free Agent(UFA) two days later on July 13.
Players who receive a qualifying offer have between July 13 - July 22 to accept their qualifying offer, otherwise it expires and the club retains the rights.
Players who are arbitration-eligible can simply ignore their qualifying offer and opt for player-elected arbitration by July 17. If a player opts for arbitration, the hearings would occur between July 27 - August 11.
So, here are the Avalanche RFAs with their qualifying offer amounts.
Arbitration eligible:
G Alexandar Georgiev - $2,650,000
F Arrturi Lehkonen - $2,300,000
F Nicolas Aube-Kubel - $1,225,000
F Callahan Burke - $750,000
F Mikhail Maltsev - $750,000
F Andreas Wingerli - $750,000
D Keaton Middleton - $750,000
Not arbitration eligible:
F Shane Bowers - $832,500
F Nick Henry - $750,000
Who do we think we will keep or just let walk away?
I would hope Georgiev and Lehkonen deals are signed well before arbitration either way.
