Players who signed contracts prior to the July 7 qualifying offer deadline were not required to receive a qualifying offer.
Each ECHL team may extend qualifying offers to a maximum of eight players. Qualifying offers remain open until 11:59 p.m. ET on July 22. Teams that extend a valid qualifying offer retain the rights to that player for one playing season should the offer not be accepted.
