Toronto Maple Leafs do not extend a qualifying offer to left winger Matias Maccelli, which makes him an unrestricted free agent as of July 1. The decision comes after the team has already taken qualifying steps with other players. Yahoo Sports reports that the Leafs qualify Nick Robertson, Jacob Quillan and Emil Andrae, but they do not do so with Maccelli before the qualifying-offer deadline. The Vancouver Sun similarly reports that the Leafs move on from Maccelli, noting that the club did not submit a qualifying offer to the restricted free-agent winger by the Monday afternoon deadline. As a result, Maccelli becomes available to sign with any team under NHL free-agency rules. The reported actions indicate the Leafs are retaining some players through the restricted free-agent process while allowing Maccelli to test the open market.
