Qualifying Rem Pitlick would've enabled him to file for arbitration, and the Canadiens, who are jammed on the wings and in cap turmoil, can't really afford what he might be awarded at the higher end of an arbitration settlement. 1/2

Believe Habs made a healthy offer to Pitlick--they like the player, as did MSL--but Pitlick wants to see what he can get for himself. He had 15G and 22A in 66 games this season. Good numbers, but small sample, and the high end of his arb award would be over $3M. 2/2

I'd take that potentially "greedy bastard" on the wing over Hoffman and Drouin.

That is why this is (frank)ed up.

Ilya Samsonov was not tendered a qualifying offer by the #caps. Another goalie hits the free-agent market.
