Palat filed for salary arbitration Wednesday, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Palat is likely hoping to get a longer deal than the one-year contract that the Lightning gave him in their qualifying offer. The 26-year-old racked up an impressive 17 goals and 35 helpers -- including 15 power-play points -- and should again provide solid fantasy value in the 2017-18 campaign. If the two parties can't agree to a deal prior to the arbitration hearing, then the best the winger can hope for is a two-year contract.
