No shit. Dude had a perfect season to really sell himself and secure the bag with all the injuries on the team. He failed in every aspect and regressed unbelievably hard in comparison from the 22-23 season.
Pack your shit and head to Sweden.

Understandable, his performance last season was shockingly terrible.
He will get another NHL gig, though, and I wouldn’t be shocked to see him have a good rebound. Probably not going to be a 20+ goal guy again, but he should be able to hold down a bottom six spot somewhere.

Makes sense. Unfortunately he was not great this season.

Yea after the disaster of a season he had last year it’s not surprising. He was invisible while playing on our top 6

It’s kind of hard to tell when the team is that bad, but I thought his season was disappointing. And seriously on that team, pretty much anyone except Bedard is expendable.

FYI, not tendering a qualifying offer doesn’t mean a player won’t eventually be re-signed. There are number of complicated CBA considerations that affect why the team may want to make a QO or not.
QO allow the team to match offer sheets so for players not likely to be offer-sheeted, its less urgent. At the same time, QO have to be at a set amount, for 1yr only and sometimes a 1-way contract so if there are talks for something different already ongoing, a QO can undermine that.
Even more importantly, QO affect arbitration eligibility so that gets factored in as well.

[Sounds like Isaak Phillips DID receive a QO but MacKenzie Entwistle did not. Reese Johnson also wasn’t expecting to get one. The other pending RFAs in question are Joey Anderson, Louis Crevier, Jaxson Stauber, Filip Roos and Michal Teply.](https://x.com/benpopecst/status/1807461536614482298?s=46&t=9ZZgKFHwPHtOdoUZsqw9jw)
