Qualifying offers[edit] The current team must extend a "qualifying offer" to a restricted free agent to retain negotiating rights to that player. Qualifying offers are for one year contracts. The minimum salary for the qualifying offer depends on the player's prior year salary. Players who earned less than $660,000 in the previous season must be offered 110 percent of last season's salary. Players making up to $1 million must be offered 105 percent. Players making over $1 million must be offered 100 percent. If the qualifying offer is not made, the player becomes an unrestricted free agent. If the player rejects a qualifying offer, he remains a restricted free agent. If the player does not sign before December 1, he is ineligible to play in the NHL for the remainder of the season. The most he can be qualified for is his exact salary from this season and ONLY for 1 year. He CAN reject it and remain an RFA if he wants more money. He COULD sign for less if he would rather have more term, meaning he gets more money. Would you rather have a 1 year contract worth only $4M and then if you s*** the bed, you are screwed after said year, or would you rather sign a 4 year deal worth $12M? Even if you s*** the bed, you are still getting paid for the next three years, and paid handsomely. So, yes he could do so, like in my example. $12M total with a job (somewhere) for the next 4 years, or $4M total and only a 1 year deal, maybe getting no more than $1M the next year on the UFA market. I'd take the guaranteed $12M.

Today is game day my dudes

Unfortunately, I agree. I still think it's too early to give up on Mrazek, but we'll see how it plays out...

He returned last night and got 3 points. Looks like the injury was not as serious as some of us feared. Nice to see! https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2018/01/29/detroit-red-wings-top-prospects-michael-rasmussen/1074618001/

Not mine. All the Red Wings fans lately: HYPE WITH BOBBY VALENTINO and @frankgrimes

There is virtually zero chance Detroit gives him an offer for more than 2 years. I don't think that they give him a QO either unless he plays lights out the rest of the season and has a good attitude off the ice. The team and player can also work out a deal without the team offering the qualifying offer, the QO just allows the team to retain the p[layer's rights.

The fact that we're rested and the Sharks played last night lowered our chances of winning this game significantly... DAHLIN HYPE!!!

Today is Rusev Day

HYPE!

And...

No f***ing around Scott. I know who you are, where you're from and what you look like...
