The Toronto Maple Leafs have extended qualifying offers to six of their nine restricted free agents.
Forwards Peter Holland and Josh Leivo, defencemen Martin Marincin, Frank Corrado and Connor Carrick and goaltender Garret Sparks were all qualified. Defenceman Stuart Percy, and forwards Sam Carrick and Colin Smith were not. They now become unrestricted free agents.
If the player signs his qualifying offer, or ends up in salary arbitration with the team, he can’t accept an offer sheet from another team. If he declines his qualifying offer, he remains an RFA.
