Confirmed Signing with Link: [CBJ] Max Domi signs extension (2 years, $5.3M AAV)

[rubikscube]

Well that's garbage for Columbus

 

[A1LeafNation]

Only 2 years? No wonder he was traded.

 

[domiwroze]

Oof, straight to UFA for 5.3.. bad deal.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

2x5.3 is a bad deal for the jackets. Goes straight to UFA and hes getting 1ish mill less than hes worth on a 6-7 year deal. A 2 year bridge should have come at 4 imo

The downside risk from a long term deal was just too great.

 

[Hitemwith4]

A prove it bridge deal could work out very well for Domi & CBJ depending on their future contract situation

 

[Unspecified]

He took $2 million less per year so he doesn't have to deal with the overbearing Montreal media and fans. Sounds like a good deal to me.

No, he took 2M$ less per year to bail on Columbus and cash-in as a UFA in 2 years.

Unless he doesn't get back to playing at a level above the previous season, then it works out for CBJ who aren't stuck for 6-7 years.

 

[Jozay]

Straight to UFA. Not a bad deal for Domi.

 

[mikeyp24]

Torts will be sick of him after 40 games

They said the same about Panarin...

 

[jetsforever]

The Panarin special, out of Columbus as soon as possible

 

[Sens]

That was such a nice deal for Columbus
Grigorenko in the back pocket to take the vacant wonger spot

 

[MasterDecoy]

good deal for him, he's gonna be given lost of offensive opportunity he wasn't going to get in montreal. and it takes him straight to ufa.

i like domi, but he has his warts and everyone knows what they are. he was shipped out of montreal because habs don't want to pay that much money for a 3/4 line center/winger that's not strong defensively.

 

[Luigi Habs]

If Domi was angling for this kind of deal all along, the trade makes so much more sense from a Montreal POV. Not so much the AAV, but the term.

I think he finds a home long term in Columbus though, seems like a good fit there.

I think CLB are happy with this deal as well. They want to know what type of player Domi is before committing long term.

 

[Jeune Poulet]

He asked close to 7m in Montreal last season lulz

No. He didn't.

 

[tbcwpg]

One of the big reasons why I didn't like Domi as the main piece in a potential Laine trade. He hired an agent to get him right to UFA.

 

[Pietrangelo]

HAHAHAHA
I knew something in this trade was fishy.
Montreal could come out on top in this trade depending on what Anderson signs for and if Domi ends up leaving in 2 years to UFA.
Really funny to see everyone jump down Bergevin's throat for a terrible trade. Clearly Max was adamant on 2 years.
Good for him, he deserves it.

anyway i loved max, good luck buddy
that's why he was shipped out for the return he was. habs can't pay him that much money to be 3/4 line center/winger

that's why he was shipped out for the return he was. habs can't pay him that much money to be 3/4 line center/winger

that's why he was shipped out for the return he was. habs can't pay him that much money to be 3/4 line center/winger

that's why he was shipped out for the return he was. habs can't pay him that much money to be 3/4 line center/winger

Yeah but why was he shipped out for the return he was? Couldn't the habs pay him that much money to be a 3rd line center/winger?

 

[Mal Reynolds]

Doesn't seem too bad to me. Maybe the AAV could be a hair lower but yeah. Buys CBJ some time for some of their overpaid/deadweight contracts to come off the books, and imo a long term deal to Max would be an unnecessary risk when you don't really know what you have (or how he fits in Torts system, a very real concern)

 

[MasterDecoy]

He took $2 million less per year so he doesn't have to deal with the overbearing Montreal media and fans. Sounds like a good deal to me.

he isn't worth 7.2 million per year

 

[Merrrlin]

That's it?

 

[Pietrangelo]

Lol, do you have any proof of this?
The guy stated earlier that he loved the city of Montreal and really enjoyed playing there. Go take your garbage elsewhere.

 

[chethejet]

Can we move on now from Domi. HF Boards needs the server disk space.

 

[MasterDecoy]

my cmd+v was stuck bro. edited

Makes sense for both sides: essentially a two year rental at 2C for Anderson. Columbus doesn’t worry about center depth for a couple seasons and develops players; Domi bets on himself.

Puts Anderson’s value as a late first I think
