Namestnikov has been tendered a qualifying offer by the Lightning.

Analysis:

It's merely a formality while the two sides continue to negotiate. By tendering the offer, the Bolts get first right of refusal or compensation should he sign an offer sheet with another club. Namestnikov's a talented player, but it's unlikely any other club will fork over the farm to sign him at this point in his young career.
