Qualifying Deadline at 5pm

[pixburgher66]

Interesting to see who does and doesn't get qualified. On the Pens front, they qualified with G Brad Thiessen (AHL Goalie of the year I believe?) and are taking TK down to the wire. Interesting to see how they handle his situation. Doughty's another big name in this situation.

If they don't tender him an offer, it would put the writing on the wall for 68



I have a feeling Ray will open the wallet for this at least.

hopefully Stan Bowman has learned how to use the new fangled office technology called the fax machine because Dale Tallon isnt around to take the fall for him anymore

Nope, no offer for TK yet. Bloggers feel Ray's using it as a tactic.

I read it on John T's blog on Ektard's site. No link, just word of mouth. I knew I saw it somewhere though, even if it was wrong.

Higgins is UFA.

other RFAs were: Shirokov, L Sweatt, MacG Sharp, Bliznak

It was pretty brief, pretty sure it was Rossi that said it. Just saying it was a negotiating tool. Even if they don't make a qualifying offer doesn't mean we can't sign him.

 

[pixburgher66]

Deadline has come and gone. Still waiting on word.

 

[pixburgher66]

AHHH, bad post number

 

[pixburgher66]

Carcillo not qualified by Philly

 

[pixburgher66]

TK not qualified. Hmm.

 

[pixburgher66]

Looks like the Pens walked away from Tk for the moment.

 

[puckhead]

Atlinnipeg didn't qualify Anthony Stewart.
that QA would have been under 700k, too.
seems pretty damned cheap for 14 goals, 39 points.

Nucks didn't qualify Lee Sweatt.
that's also a bit surprising.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

The Islanders didn't qualify Jack Hillen.

 

[dash]

If the Canucks want Mike Gillis' nephew, he's available (Matt Pelech not qualified by the Flames)
