Wild send qualifying offers to four restricted free agents
The Minnesota Wild on Sunday made qualifying offers to four restricted free agents, including defenseman Declan Chisolm, who was claimed off waivers from Winnipeg last season and is expected to be on the NHL blue line this season.
Not among those qualified was forward Mason Shaw, who overcame four reconstructed knee surgeries to play 20 games with the Wild last season.
The other three players to receive offers are forwards Graeme Clarke, Adam Raska and Sammy Walker. Clarke was acquired last week in a trade that sent prospect Adam Beckman to New Jersey.
Qualifying offers are for one-year contracts.
Also not qualified were forwards Sam Hentges and Dmitry Ovchinnikov, defenseman Simon Johansson and goaltender Hunter Jones.
