I don't really care much for Max Domi as a deadline acquisition. I think in general, he fits the bill of "good player on a bad team" but "bad player on a good team". He seems to need to play center, with some top minutes with skilled offensive linemates to really get much out of him.
However...if there's a playoff team where i could see them accommodating that to some extent, it's Dallas.
I could see a scenario where you play him at "center" between Benn and Seguin, for a line with three guys who can all kinda-sorta play Center. And i could see that actually being a somewhat successful way of filling out that 2nd line.
Seems like a steep price to pay for Domi, but at least Dallas aren't tied to him contractually for a bunch of extra years like the Penguins with similarly disappointing Granlund for a comparable acquisition price. And at the end of the day...it's a late 2nd a bunch of years from now? Big whoop.
That is more picks than the Canucks have.
