Breaking: Leafs extend qualifying offers to four players.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have officially qualified four of their players. 

According to an official announcement via Toronto Maple Leafs Public Relations, the team has extended qualifying offers to goaltender Garret Sparks, defenseman Justin Holl, forward Connor Brown and forward Zach Hyman.

Sparks, Brown and Hyman have all established themselves with the Maple Leafs, with both Brown and Hyman playing full seasons, and Sparks serving as a backup when called upon. 

Holl however has spent his entire career in the American Hockey League since leaving college hockey, and with this qualifying offer it should be interesting whether or not the Maple Leafs see him playing a bigger role moving forward.
