Tim Murray has extended qualifying offers to seven RFAs, and has let five more head to free agency.
The deadline for extending qualifying offers to restricted free agents was today at 5pm, and the Buffalo Sabres just announced that they've extended offers to seven of their RFAs, including some very big names.

There are no surprises among that list, and Tim Murray smartly extended offers to four players that will contribute in the NHL next season, while Casey Nelson, Jason Kasdorf, and Dan Catenacci will contribute mainly in Rochester next season.
