Qualifying offers for restricted free agents were due on June 30 for the Ottawa Senators. Some received offers, like Shane Pinto and Egor Sokolov, while others like Erik Brannstrom did not. The Brannstrom saga in Ottawa has come to an end, marking a tough but necessary decision.

Katchouk and Kelly are also moving on from the Senators, with potential replacements ready internally. Surprising offers were made to Sokolov and Thomson, indicating careful financial planning from the team.
