ADIOS!

From the Pens site:

Executive Vice President and General Manager Ray Shero announced Monday that the Pittsburgh Penguins have extended qualifying offers to the following Group II free agents: Colby Armstrong, Ryan Whitney, Erik Christensen, Maxime Talbot, Ryan Lannon and Tim Brent.

The following Group II free agents were not made qualifying offers and will become free agents as of July 1: Michel Ouellet and Andrew Penner.


LATER OMLETTE!!!!!

I heart Ray Shero :)

I just want to say this about those who are saying that the Pens want Ouellet back at a lower price. His contract was $500k this past season, meaning his qualifying offer would be $550k, $100k above the LEAGUE MINUMUM of $450k.

If a team you scored 19 goals for doesnt want to even retain the right to talk to you at $100k above the minimum, that says a lot.
