The @MapleLeafs extended qualifying offers today to the following restricted free agents: Michael Carcone, Andreas Johnsson, Kasperi Kapanen and Mitch Marner.
Extending the offers is essentially a formality that allows the Maple Leafs to retain negotiating rights with the players. Marner, Johnsson and Kapanen are certain to turn the offers down.
Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas has said he is close to getting new deals done with Johnsson and Kapanen.
Progress seems to be slower with Marner, who had a career-high 94 points (26 goals, 68 assists) in 82 games last season and will command a significant raise.
Players not extended a qualifying offer by the #leafs: Gabriel Gagne, Nicholas Baptiste, Jordan Subban, Igor Ozhiganov and Eamon McAdam.
