Dreger: CBJ to Expose Domi

[GordonGraham]

In Seattle He should by a 1st liner with PP time should but decent numbers

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

So Seattle takes him then trades him to Tampa.

A bit nasty, but I like it.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Didn’t Jarmo give Vegas a 1st and a 2nd so that they would choose Karlson who ended up scoring 40 that year? The guy has no clue how to manage expension drafts

They also took Clarkson off of us, but I guess that’s worth leaving out. Lol.

 

[FissionFire]

This seems all about the fact that Domi will likely miss a big chunk of the season and is a free agent at the end of the year. If the team didn’t plan to re-sign him it makes sense to expose him instead. They likely won’t get much value at the deadline trading him if they kept him.

 

[untouchable21]

The problem with Domi is that he's not good enough to win with as a #1 or #2 and too poor defensively to be a #3.

He needs to reinvent himself as an in your face up and down middle six winger who can provide some secondary offense. That has value to almost any team in the league.

He’s just not skilled enough offensively or good enough defensively to make it as a top six centre.

I dont understand how people aren't realizing this.

I'm disappointed, I really wanted to see what Domi could have done in a more open system offensively. He looked good towards the end of the year.

Shoulder injuries can be nasty and if Jarmo doesn't think he'll re-sign anyways I get it. Sucks, but I get it.

Not that good at math but "not much value" seems higher than zero value. And please don't say cap space because he can go LTIR if he's out that long...

The question is whether the team feels whatever value they may get from him at the deadline is worth more than what Robinson gives them now. If they only think they would get a middle/late draft pick for Domi in a trade, I can see how they’d prefer what they have over a big long shot lottery ticket.

 

[Price is Wright]

Max Domi wears out his welcome again. Wouldn't be surprised if Francis does his homework and doesn't select him.

 

[Jeune Poulet]

Domi seems like the type of player that this would motivate.

Unfortunately, he is the type of player who needs "motivation" a little too often.

 

[Price is Wright]

If the trade from Arizona to Montreal to Columbus to being exposed for Seattle doesn't motivate him, I'm sure fans of him will still make excuses when he's off to the KHL.

 

[Viqsi]

But i was told he’s a centre piece for an Eichel deal. LOL

By who? Certainly not any Jackets fan with any pretense to rationality. He may have been held up as "a center coming back" as a sort of tenuous excuse before we knew just how huge of a priority that really was over there (with the value being in other pieces), but that's about the limit of it.

* * *​

Buffalo has seven forwards it wants more based on contracts. Personally, I’d throw a 4th at Columbus and expose Bjork

I think the hope is that Seattle opts for someone who won't be missing much of his last season under contract, rather than trying to lose him.

You are literally the only person I've seen say this.

 

[Viqsi]

If you think John Tortorella is the best coach for your team, you are the worst GM in the league.

Torts is a classic Ponzi, his way on the ice is just not effective and the players can see that clearly.

Yeah; it was so ineffective that it just led to the best, highest-scoring, highest-finishing, most consistently playoff-bound stretch in CBJ franchise history. So terrible.

Columbus and losing stars for nothing, name a better duo

Nah he's good in small quantities but eventually wears out his welcome

 

[moog35]

Domi is a punk

 

[robes1]

If there was ever a time to post that spiderman meme it would be now with Tortorella and Domi being two sides of the same coin, two unhinged headcases.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Star players Matt Duchene and Sergei Bobrovsky. Highly covetable contracts.

 

[McJedi]

Seems like seattle will end up having a decent roster

With Allen as one of their two goalies.

 

[DJA]

Columbus and losing stars for nothing, name a better duo

Panarin is the only star I can think of

 

[TSA0402]

My first thought is its insane to leave him unprotected. But, if they are really losing him for about half the season and he's likely going to UFA, might as well hold on to the cost controlled young guy with upside(Robinson).

 

[DaBolts]

Wow was not expecting that. You’d think they could have traded him for something

Kucherov drank all of the remaining Bud Light in North America. So there was nothing to offer for him.

 

[CauZuki]

I can see this Drouin and Domi had solid offensive chemistry.

I can see that combo but what team wants to devote two spots in their top six to two headcase reclamation projects? Maybe Seattle?
