The Deadline for all NHL teams to make qualifying offers to their Restricted Free Agents has now passed. The Blackhawks had 7 Restricted Free Agents on the roster to make decisions on. What decisions did they make, and how does that impact them moving forward?
As the Blackhawks march towards the free-agency period, which begins on July 28th, they have already completed the Seattle Expansion Draft, and the 2021 Entry Draft. Next up, they needed to finalize their decisions on the team’s restricted free agents, and whether or not they want to extend a qualifying offer to each of the 7 players that fall into this category.
