Great news for the future of this team.

I didn't see much of Palat this year but Johnson has impressed me a lot. His speed is phenomenal. Having those two be Calder finalists with Drouin still waiting in the wings is an embarrassment of riches.

MacKinnon will win but good for our OP and TJ.

@NHLJensen: Palat & Johnson were 1st rookie teammates w/20+ goals apiece since Toews & Kane in 2007-08. Well-deserved Calder consideration. #TBLightning

Congrats Drej and TJ. You two earned it this year.

 

[Mikeaveli]

My next jersey purchase is gonna be a TJ. Congrats to both!

 

[LightningStrikes]

It's a really tough choice this year. With my homer glasses off I'd still lean towards picking Palat. He's dominant in all three zones at all times (ES, PP, PK) and does what only Marty did for us: Make his linemates better.

That is pretty crazy. Very elite company.

Hell of a job by the boys. Nate will win it, but I think Palat makes a damn good case as to why he should win. TJ is quickly becoming one of my favorite players too. Hopefully they keep growing.

Congrats to both guys

 

[FinnLightning26]

Well deserved for both!

I think Palat has been our best player since the beginning of the 2014, bar none. I don't think he had a bad game in that stretch.

Congrats on the big years!

Tyler Johnson is first undrafted player to be nominated for the Calder Trophy since Ed Belfour won the award in 1991 #tblightning

Good. Sweden burned a pretty big bridge there imo.

MacKinnon was in a landslide, so one of Palat or Johnson will win.
