If I read that second part correctly it is exactly as I stated. I know Boeser's was signed before, therefore will have a qualifying offer based of his last salary.
For players who are on expiring contracts that were signed after July 10, 2020:
The Qualifying Offer is limited to 120% of their previous contracts annual average (AAV)
Reference: 2020 NHL CBA extension Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
Unless I am missing something here? You have me a little confused. I thought the changes I stated were the new ones?
