Palat and Johnson will get 2M after 50+ point seasons? Good luck with that.

He's just gotta work on the defensive side of the puck.
- Artyukhin76

In the 'Q he's a reliable player. His Defense is not a weakness, even though it's not a strength.

They'll likely get short-term bridge contracts in that range, yeah.

Pittsburgh is gonna get Lindback'd out of these series, holy crap that OT goal was soft

Yes if they get a two year deal but if the get tendered it's only 1.5 1.7 range. They don't have enough games in yet look at the CBa rules.

I think lindback could have stopped that one easy

Callahan said he's open to returning to Tampa, but hasn't thought much about future yet. Also said he sees team going on upward trend.

Joe Smith ‏@TBTimes_JSmith · 13m
#tblightning Ryan Callahan says he really enjoyed his time here, would be open to return, believes team has bright future.

Erik Erlendsson ‏@erlendssonTBO · 13s
Filppula admits he was banged up in the playoffs, wouldn't say what it was and didn't want to use it as an excuse #tblightning Also mentions he likes young core of team.

#tblightning Ben bishop said he tore ligament in right wrist before All Star break, wore cast second half of season. Surgery next week.

Michelle Gingras ‏@michellegingras · 26s
Bishop's recovery after surgery should take three to four months and he expects to be back to 100% by training camp #tblightning

Also said unsure where Drouin will be playing next year, but want to make sure he's getting playing time and not sitting in the press box. (GM Steve Yzerman)

If Bishops injury took 3-4 months to heal, just wish he would have had it mid-season, no further aggravation, back in time for play-offs, never would have had dislocated elbow. Oh well, it is what it is.

#TBLightning coach Jon Cooper really wants Ryan Callahan back. Says as long as he's coach, he wants Callahan on bench with him.

Calder
Vezina
Norris
Masterson
Hart

Most likely winners are:
Mackinnon
Rask
Pietrangelo
Harding
Crosby
Roy

There's an easy argument to make for Hedman to be in the Norris discussion. A number of voters have mentioned him.

But I agree with you on the Hart.

I don't think any of my nominees would be a stretch of the imagination. bishop could be hart, easily.

Don't think so. He played well, but not Hart-well after the wrist injury. This was a team effort for much of the season. The success doesn't rest on one guy.

I disagree and think he could deserve a nomination . He was by far our MVP

Our MVP and league MVP are two very different things.
