New York Islanders Qualifying Offers for Teams RFAs
The New York Islanders announced today that they have tended qualifying offers to all five of their Restricted Free Agents. Great, so what does that mean?
The New York Islanders took their first steps into free agency by locking up their RFA’s with qualifying offers. The first step NHL teams need to take in order to keep a player’s rights.
That’s all this is. Before we get into numbers. Qualifying offers aren’t anything binding. It’s just a way to ensure that the New York Islanders keep the rights of first refusal with their RFAs.
The New York Islanders extended qualifying offers to four of their RFAs: Adam Pelech, Calvin de Haan, Christopher Gibson and Connor Jones.
