Minnesota made qualifying offers to defenseman Calen Addison, forward Brandon Duhaime and goaltender Filip Gustavsson on Friday.

If the offers are rejected, all three players will be restricted free agents when the free agency period begins Saturday. The Wild opted not to extend qualifying offers to forwards Damien Giroux, Mason Shaw and Sam Steel, making them unrestricted free agents.

Addison, a second-round pick of Pittsburgh in 2018, had a breakout year for Minnesota last season, recording 29 points in 62 games.

Duhaime has played in 131 contests for the Wild the past two seasons, tallying 15 goals and 12 assists along with a +4 plus/minus.

The real standout of the threesome was 25-year-old netminder Gustavsson, who Minnesota acquired from Ottawa in exchange for veteran goalie Cam Talbot before the start of the 2022-23 season. Expected to be a backup to Marc-Andre Fleury, Gustavsson emerged as a No. 1 candidate between the pipes, posting a 2.10 goals-against average and .931 save percentage across 37 starts.

As for the others, Steel had 28 points in 65 games in his first season for Minnesota. Shaw flashed at times, pairing 10 goals with 18 assists over 59 skates but suffered an ACL injury late in the season. Giroux logged one assist in one appearance.
