Bahl QO

The New Jersey Devils announced today that they have extended a Qualifying Offer to Kevin Bahl, a restricted free agent without arbitration rights.

Eight players have not been tendered a qualifying offer, and will now become Unrestricted Free Agents. Those players are as follows:

Nathan Bastian, Jesper Boqvist, Zachary Emond, Jeremy Groleau, Zackary Hayes, Timur Ibragimov, Michael McLeod, Aarne Talvitie.

In the case of Bastian, Boqvist and McLeod, all were RFAs with arbitration rights. The club will look to see if they can sign these players at a different number, avoiding an arbitration case that could result in a higher cost.
