Draft #12 - Max Domi

[RABBIT]

just sayin.

Just watched those videos. Love it.

Domi in the NHL this season is a big mistake. Just let him develop properly.

 

[lanky]

It should be a no-brainer. He has a free ride to the Memorial Cup. Let him take that ride and show everyone just how good he is.

More than anything I'm hoping one of Lessio, Brown, or Miele can step up and earn a spot. I really liked what I saw from Domi. He can flat out make a play and we need that even with Ribeiro. I'm sure we'll see the 9 game trial.

I was thinking more of this

This was used to make fun of Tie Domi on this forum to years. Years. It looks much more lie Tie than it does Max.

Apparently Buffalo had a deal worked out with Columbus for Domi if he had lasted past the Coyotes pick. On Columbus web site apparently.

Wow, very interesting. From what I understand though, the Jets were pretty high on Domi, so I don't think he would have made it to 14 anyway if we didn't select him. Very interesting nonetheless though.

About half way point. Confirms spec on Buff /Domi interest

I'd be more impressed if they were actively trying to jump the Coyotes via trade for him. Otherwise it just looks like jostling for bpa.

 

[Sartorial]

As per Ryan Pyette, Domi's been suspended for four games. Does anyone know why?

 

[ck26]

Elbow to the head. First period of his first game back in London.

God bless him.

It's good that he's pissed but now lets hope he turns it into something productive. I'm kind of surprise by the reaction of everyone patting him on the back for this. I would have much rather seen him come back and dominate the game with a 5 point night or something showing that he was a NHL caliber player. Instead showing this suggests frustration, which is reasonable, but it also shows immaturity. Maybe Tippet and Maloney were right to send him back for another year of junior.

Both Chris Brown and Henrik Samuelsson can cross that line into "dirty" as well. This may end up part of the franchise identity. Personally I'm fine with that. We've already got the haters all out of sorts and having fits. Why not keep that going? It's fun.

As for production, I wouldn't worry about that. I fully expect that despite missing games due to NHL camp, suspension, the top prospects game, WJC camp (including the Super Series), and the WJCs that he will still put up triple digit points. He's a stud. He will probably grab a good medal and a memorial cup while he's at it too. That's why it was best to send him back. He will be 100% ready for the NHL next season.

Domi and the London Knights come to my city to play the Kingston Frontenacs on Nov 15h - can't wait to see his skills in person Fortunately his suspension will be over.

Well, they were DEFINITELY right sending him back for another year of Jr's., but I am not convinced for the reason you suggest. I too would rather have seen him light the lamp as vengence, but no one can really predict nor summize in retrospect the split second decisions made in a hockey game. We're lookiing at a very young kid here, who certainly wanted to make the cut, had a Dad who played the game.... well, the way he did and there's a whole lotta lotta that goes into all that. Point being: I just don't think this one incident is necessarily indicitive of anything to come anymore than it is a reflection of what his career has been.

I agree, I'm not letting this one incident define his career. I'm just stating the opposite opinion to the popular one that was cheering the act. I'm not saying he's an immature player for his age, but again highlighting the counterpoint that others are missing.

I understand and didn't mean to come off as contradictary, just adding my thoughts.

Just realized I typed light the light instead of light the lamp

I posted my reservations on Domi prior to our selection. between he and Samuelsson this franchise is going to need a very good penalty kill. Great skill but a dirty player.

What's your definition of a dirty player?

I've been thinking this, too. Our team is going to have a real edge I'm a couple years, and I look forward to it. HF is going to explode when domi punches RNH in the mouth and samuelsson crushes hall. I can see it now.

Unnecessary selfish penalties usually designed to intentionally cause bodily harm and/or potential injury.

God bless him.

This was the play that got him suspended if anyone was wondering.
