Maple Leafs have a handful of RFAs to negotiate with

The Maple Leafs have a host of UFAs and RFAs to re-sign, or not as the case may be. Most of the UFAs seem to be unlikely to return, but the RFA picture is less clear. Teams usually re-sign RFAs when they are in the NHL. But cap constraints might make keeping some of these players unlikely for the Leafs this year.

First a review of the Restricted Free Agent process.

All RFAs a team intends to sign have to be issued a Qualifying Offer by the deadline, which is July 11 this year, two days before free agency.
