According to Mike Vogel, writer for the Capitals website, there have been a few players that will not receive offers from the Caps, and others that have. The Bears players that did not receive a qualifying offer (which means they will be unrestricted free agents come July 1st) are winger Nicolas Deschamps, center Peter LeBlanc, and defenseman Brett Flemming. Deschamps played in 65 games for the Bears last season. He was tied for 3rd on the team in points, as he had 40 (15 goals, 25 assists) to his credit. LeBlanc played 65 games last season, and he had 28 points (12 goals, 16 assists) to his credit. He signed a contract to play for Rogle BK in Sweden. In his time in the Caps system, Flemming played mostly for ECHL teams (South Carolina and Reading). He played 36 games for the Bears in his years in the system, with 6 points (2 goals, 4 assists) in those games.
The Caps made four qualifying offers. They were made to goalie Eddie Pasquale (part of the draft trade mentioned in yesterday's post), forward Michael Latta, and defensemen Cameron Schilling and Nate Schmidt. Latta played 52 games for the Bears last season. He was 5th on the team in points, as he had 34 (14 goals, 20 assists) to his credit. Schilling has been with the Bears for a little more than 2 years now. Last season, he played in 70 games, and was tied for the best plus/minus ratio on the team. He had 16 points (3 goals, 13 assists) to his credit. Schmidt split some of his time between Washington and Hershey. He played in 38 games for the Bears, with 13 points (2 goals, 11 assists) to his credit.
