Today was the deadline to extend qualifying offers to RFAs for every organization, and the Canadiens announced six offers. If an RFA is tendered a qualifying offer, they retain their RFA status, and allow the Canadiens to match any offer they may receive in free agency. Players who don’t receive a qualifying offer become UFAs and are free to sign with any organization.
