With several restricted free agents in the organization who need contracts before July 1, the Montreal Canadiens have decided to part with a few long-time members of the prospect pool. Two 2014 Draft selections — Brett Lernout and Daniel Audette — along with Hunter Shinkaruk did not receive the qualifying offers that would have allowed Montreal to retain their rights. They will therefore become unrestricted free agents on July 1, free to sign with another organization.
Hunter Shinkaruk and Daniel Audette are not going to get a qualifying offer from the @CanadiensMTL so they’ll be UFAs on July first.
