The Chicago Blackhawks have submitted a qualifying offer for free-agent forward Dennis Rasmussen, but did not place one for forward Matt Carey, reports ESPN Chicago's Scott Powers.
Rasmussen, who turns 25 on Friday, had 13 goals and 14 assists in 73 games for the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League. He was recalled by the Hawks in January when Kris Versteeg was placed on long-term injured reserved, but did not play in any NHL games.
Carey, 23, tallied 10 goals and 11 assists in 67 regular-season games for the IceHogs last season.
