The San Jose Sharks announced yesterday that they had tendered qualifying offers to seven of their 14 restricted free agents. Nick DeSimone, Dylan Gambrell, Kevin Labanc, Maxim Letunov, Timo Meier, Antti Suomela and Kyle Wood were all tendered qualifying offers, which means if they do not sign, the Sharks can choose to match any offers these players receive in free agency or receive draft pick compensation in return.
Michael Brodzinski, Rourke Chartier, Cody Donaghey, Cavan Fitzgerald, Jon Martin, Joakim Ryan and Alex Schoenborn were not tendered and will become unrestricted free agents come July 1.
