Martin Frk Offered Qualifying Offer by Red Wings

The hero of the Grand Rapids Griffins Game 6 win has been qualified by the Red Wings. Frk is a restricted free agent and the offer will allow the Red Wings to retain negotiating rights with the Czech forward.

Essentially, a qualifying offer will allow a player to sign with his current team, which would be a one-year contract. If he rejects it, then he is able to negotiate offer sheets with other organizations.

Frk has had a back-and-forth career with the Red Wings organization. In 2016, he was claimed by the Carolina Hurricanes off waivers, and in a short time, was back with the Red Wings after they claimed him off waivers.
