The Flames may have cut ties with quite a few members of the organization.
Today was the deadline for teams to qualify their restricted free agents. Essentially, teams had to give their upcoming restricted free agents a qualifying offer (nominal increase over their current salary), which is done to maintain possession of the player's rights. If a team does not qualify a player, that player becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1st, free to sign with any team.
No big surprises here. Monahan and Gaudreau were obviously going to be qualified, and were not going to accept the qualifying offer.
