The Rangers have a whopping five guys headed to restricted free agency, and qualifying offers are going to be handed out relatively soon. A QO is a one-year deal, and does not need to be offered or accepted. Automatic raises are given to players making less than $1 million. Players making less than $660,000 get an automatic 10% raise in their offer, and players making between $660,000 and $1 million get a 5% raise.

  • NHL
    • Derick Brassard – $3.7 million
    • Mats Zuccarello – $1.15 million
    • Chris Kreider – $850,500
    • John Moore – $850,500
    • Justin Falk – $1.023 million
  • AHL
    • Danny Kristo – $826,875
    • Kyle Beach – $605,000
    • Ryan Bourque – $687,500
    • Kyle Jean – $687,500
    • Scott Stajcer – $660,000
    • Jason Wilson – $605,000
    • Jason Missiaen – $715,000

It’s safe to assume that all at the NHL level except Falk will receive qualifying offers. At the AHL level, I’d expect Kristo and possibly Bourque to get QOs. Stajcer, Wilson, and Missiaen will likely be let go. Beach is a wild card, I don’t think he gets one, but it wouldn’t shock me.

Just a reminder: Just because a player doesn’t receive a qualifying offer doesn’t mean the Rangers are parting ways. It just means the NHL portion of the salary is too high.
