According to Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now, Andrighetto is one of five players the Colorado Avalanche has decided not to qualify. The 26-year-old forward, who was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens, has been playing for the Avs since 2017 and will thus play for a different team next season.

Kevin Fiala, on the other hand, has received a qualifying offer from the Minnesota Wild, Michael Russo (The Athletic) reports. Fiala was traded to the Wild in late February. He went on to record three goals and four assists in 19 games for them.
