As the qualifying offers trickle out to the public, it appears one Maple Leaf didn&#8217;t receive a qualifying offer from the organization he began his pro career with.

According to <a href="https://twitter.com/UlvisBrozhe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@UlvisBrozhe</a>, the Maple Leafs did not qualify Kristians Rubins.
Unless the two sides can find a way to make a deal happen, he&#39;s off to free agency. <a href="https://t.co/jxi6nPw7hW">https://t.co/jxi6nPw7hW</a>

Rubins&#8217; qualifying offer was set to $787,500 and it looks like Toronto has decided to part ways with the 24-year-old. He spent almost all of last season in the AHL with the Toronto Marlies, but did emerge as a possible seventh defenceman in the future.
There&#8217;s always a chance he re-signs with Toronto, but at that low of a number, I doubt he returns.
