The Canadiens officially extended qualifying offers to three players today. Daniel Carr, Andrew Shaw and Phillip Danault will all remain within the Canadiens organization.
Earlier, the Canadiens announced both Lucas Lessio and Darren Dietz would not receive qualifying offers. They’ve also decided to let both Michael Bournival and Morgan Ellis go as well. Depth defensive prospect Mac Bennett was also let go.
Carr, Shaw and Danault were near locks to receive their qualifying offers and should have new contracts in place fairly quickly.
