Very surprised we qualified Marincin, he was good with the Marlies at times but he is getting older and proved he will never stick with the Leafs in 16-17

Also, does the fact that Nylander was just given a qualified offer now mean that negotiations with him haven't even begun yet?

He's great depth to keep around. Extend a contract. Waive him. If he's claimed, oh well. If not, you have a defender with 200+ NHL games sitting there if you are in a In Case of Emergency Break Glass situation.
No.
Qualifying Offers are just a 1 year offer at 105% of their salary from the previous season. Even if the Maple Leafs and Nylander were close to a contract, they would still need to submit a copy of this offer to both the NHL office and Nylanders agent to officially retain his rights.

All you have to do is extend a contract offer of 1 year at no less than the previous contract. Or so.
It's really just a paperwork thing.

No. It's a housekeeping thing. If they didn't, he could go UFA. Which he would for sure.

That is my thought. A trade that is. I would love him on the Marlies, even if it means a multi-year deal with a lower cap hit, but he has earned another shot at the NHL level. That will not come here.
Even if it is for a mid-20's center who can be the top line guy for the Marlies and compete with Lindholm + Gauthier for the 4C job next year. That makes sense for the Leafs right now.

He is a great option to have on the Leafs as a 13th forward next year. Rather him than some vet without a future. I do not remember a single time he had a bad game in the Marlies playoffs, and he looked like he developed some offensive competence as well. He's never going to light up a score sheet, but there should not be anything stopping him from producing a normal 4C rate in the NHL if he is given the right line mates and opportunities to do so.
Plus, he still has value as a trade chip. Maybe not a ton, but there could be a team out there that likes a big, cheap 4C with some upside left in the tank.

I would have rather they let Marincin, Aaltonen and Gauthier walk. 3 contracts for guys unlikely to ever play for the Leafs isn't a great play imo.
