Christian Hanson and Nikolai Kulemin don't qualify for arbitration based on age, 1st contract signing, years pro.

— Kevin McGran confirms that these two were not arbitration eligible. This is probably a big reason why Burke is playing such hardball with Kulemin. He literally has no other option if he wants to stay in the NHL which he has stated repeatedly that he does. This is Burke using all of the leverage that he has to get the Leafs the best deals possible. I approve heartily.

Leafs decline to tender contract to Mitchell. Will be UFA on July 1. talks will continue. Mitchell wants to return, Leafs want him back. If the Leafs had qualified Mitchell with an offer to retain his rights, Mitchell also would have qualified for arbitration. The Leafs didn’t want to take the risk Mitchell would win an arbitration case for more than $1 million. Leafs hoping to get him for significantly less.

— Kevin McGran clarifies the John Mitchell situation. Excellent reporting and, turns out, excellent cap management by Brian Burke. More significantly, I think that this might confirm that Nikolai Kulemin is NOT arbitration eligible.
