The Penguins did not give Emil Bemstrom a qualifying offer, but they still got the forward to come back to them for the 2024-25 season by signing him as an unrestricted free agent. It’s good terms for the team, at league minimum for next season, which was lower than the QO and impending arbitration would have been.
