The Pittsburgh Penguins got a great deal of business done on Monday, at least officially.
According to Pittsburgh Penguins reporter Jonathan Bombulie of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Penguins have extended a qualifying offer to a total of seven players, while seemingly cutting ties with two more.
Bombulie reports that both Stuart Percy and Tim Erixon have not had qualifying offers extended to them, indicating that the Penguins are cutting ties with them and will allow them to become free agents.
Meanwhile, Bombulie reports that every other restricted free agent on the roster has been qualified, a list that includes Justin Schultz, Brian Dumoulin, Conor Sheary, Josh Archibald, Derrick Pouliot, Frakie Corrado and Jean-Sebastien Dea.
Busy day for the Penguins.
