Surprised Gauthier got one, but I guess that speaks to our poor center depth beyond our top 9.
The way Dubas talked about Marincin made it seem like a qualifying offer was coming, but still a little surprising there too. As mentioned on the previous page, the qualifying offer is above the point where he can be buried in the minors without incurring a cap hit.
Gotta love that there are actually Leafs fans on Twitter upset about Nylander getting a QO because he's apparently a bust. I don't even understand how anyone could arrive at that conclusion.
Seriously, is Marincin on the rise?
Only 875k?!

They just gave him a qualifying offer to retain his rights, they didn't sign a new contract or even make him an legit offer for one yet..
If they made him a legit offer, there was no need to offer him a qualifying offer after that.You can't say that. Unless you're in MLSE brass, or Nylander, or his agent, nobody knows what's going on. I'm willing to bet they've made at least an offer, but negotiations take time.
You have to extend a QO to retain his rights. If you don't, he's a UFA.If they made him a legit offer, there was no need to offer him a qualifying offer after that.

Maple Leafs extend qualifying offer to Nylander, five others
Maple Leafs extend qualifying offer to Nylander, five others - Sportsnet.ca
The Toronto Maple Leafs have extended qualifying offers to six pending restricted free agents on Monday, ahead of the 5 p.m. ET deadline.
Players include forwards William Nylander, Andreas Johnsson, Frederik Gauthier and Miro Aaltonen and defencemen Justin Holl and Martin Marincin.
This means the club has the right of first refusal to match any offer sheets from competing teams and officially retains negotiating rights with all six players. Failure to extend an offer means the player hits unrestricted free agency.
Of these six players, only Nylander has been a constant on the NHL roster as a key player in the Maple Leafs’ rebuild over the past few seasons. The 22-year-old registered 20 goals and 41 assists for 61 points in 82 games in 2017-18.
Johnsson, Gaulthier, Holl and Marincin spent the majority of this past season with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies, helping the club win the Calder Cup earlier this month.
I think this may be a terminology/semantics thing. A QO is a registered offer (afaik) whereas simply extending a contract offer may never leave the room in which it was offered.I think @JadedLeaf is saying that if you extend a bonafide offer (meeting the salary conditions), that would be the qualifying offer. Hence no need for a second minimum offer.
Willy is a stand-up guy.Only 875k?!
