The Detroit Red Wings made qualifying offers to nine players before Monday’s deadline, retaining their rights when they become restricted free agents Thursday.
In addition to making qualifying offers, as expected, to Darren Helm, Justin Abdelkader, Patrick Eaves, Drew Miller and Derek Meech, the Red Wings also qualified defensemen Sergei Kolosov and Ole-Kristian Tollefsen, forward Jamie Tardif and goaltender Daniel Larsson.

The article also notes that this means the Red Wings have decided to allow Evan McGrath and Johan Ryno to leave as unrestricted free agents.
For Tolefsson and Larsson, the offers are just to retain the rights to the players as both are headed to Europe to continue their careers. The others are all likely to be re-signed and would probably take up around $3.5m+ cap space; which would leave $1.7m for further signings and/or trades.
