Friedman: Columbus shopping Domi

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

On his 31 thoughts podcast Friedman reports Columbus doesn't see Domi as a fit in the organisation and has begun shopping him


If he's moved where is the best fit for him?

Columbus has tried in the past to acquire Kerfoot, namely last off season when the report came out of a potential Kerfoot/Savard deal turned down by Dubas.

Could something around Domi and Kerfoot be a fit?

I figured when he wasn't protected, that it was well known he was up for grabs

 

[Gil Gunderson]

lol Francis

 

[Forge]

What's his value right now? He's not even going to be healthy to start the year, right?

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Well he cleared the expansion draft and is not going to start the season so the price can’t be that high.

 

[SensontheRush]

Maybe Ottawa?

 

[Lil Tuzzi Bert]

There would need to be retention on Domi if the deal is 1 for 1

 

[themelkman]

Clearly he would need retention or a sweetener if Columbus wanted Seattle to take him. I’d probably risk him on the sharks if Kane’s gone though

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

What's wrong with the kid?.. has there ever been reports of him being a head case or anything?

Seems to wear out his welcome quick with teams

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Honestly if Edmonton could make the cap work I’d offer Turris. Only a 1.65 million cap hit for this season and a b prospect

 

[Just Linda]

Easy answer. Let's kill to stones with one bird.

Arizona gets Domi
Columbus gets Kessel

 

[Colezuki]

Maybe Ottawa?

Now that could make some sense

Not sure but on the habs he had a pretty inflated sense of worth and pouted after they moved him to the 4th line because he refused to play d

Well if it were Kerfoot/Domi there would need to be retention

But personally I wouldn't mind seeing a Domi Matthews Marner line

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I could see the Canes jumping in on Domi if Tatar signs elsewhere.

Easy answer. Let's kill to stones with one bird.

Arizona gets Domi
Columbus gets Kessel

Domi back to Arizona? I doubt it

 

[AfroThunder396]

To NJ, we can send you back the other Boqvist.

Domi has to be one of the biggest wild cards in the league right now.
Is he a 25+ goal, 60+ point center?
Is he a 35 point winger?
Is he an undisciplined distraction with injury issues?
Is he a tough-as-nails heart-and-soul guy?
Does he still have another level he could hit?
Is he already past his prime?

 

[Baksfamous112]

Why not just keep the guy until he’s healthy and move him at the TDL as a rental for a first round pick?

 

[GoldiFox]

Gardiner + 2nd for Domi

Fits well in Carolina

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I've always thought he would excel in TO... I'd like to see them acquire him

 

[Onside]

Drouin for Domi?

 

[majormajor]

I'd expect the Jackets are fine retaining if they can get some real futures for him.

Why not just keep the guy until he’s healthy and move him at the TDL as a rental for a first round pick?

Do you want your team to give up a 1st rounder for him?

He's not a gritty heart and soul type. People see him in scrums and think he's gritty but he only engages when the other guy isn't looking or isn't willing.

 

[ponder]

I like his game, but it’d be tough for Toronto to trade for him cap-wise.

Kerfoot + Engvall + solid prospect
for
Domi with minor retention (~$1 mil retained? Whatever we’d need to make the cap work)

The question would be which solid prospect. Liljegren? That might be a bit too much for 1 year of Domi, though.
