Dawes, Sjostrom Qualifying Offer Update

Steve Zipay at Blue Notes is reporting...

Forward Freddie Sjostrom's qualifying offer was extended past yesterday's 5 p.m. deadline to Aug. 4. "We're still negotiating," Sjostrom said in an email late yesterday. No word from Nigel Dawes, but I believe his offer was extended as well.

Zipay also notes that Opening night at the Garden is expected to be Oct. 10, the All-Star Game in Montreal was announced yesterday and the January 1st Wrigley Field outdoor game should be official today or tomorrow as well.

...wonder if the Rangers are trying to low ball these two in an effort to save money to bring in Sundin.
