Noteworthy:
The following RFAs have arbitration rights and Treliving et al. have been known to not qualify players if they think they might get stuck with an arbitration award that screws up the salary structure.

For the 2016-2017 season the walk away number for player elected salary arbitration was just above $3.9 million. Meaning that if the arbitrator awards a player a salary of $3.9 million or less the team must accept the award and the player is signed to the arbitrator's award (the player is still tradeable). The walk away number is linked to the salary cap so it will go up/down/stay the same once next season's cap numbers are known.
