Max Domi: How Long Before he is a Leaf?

[LeafChief]

Max Domi grew up in the Maple Leafs organization. His dad was obviously a fan favourite and Max grew up seeing what it is like to be a hero in his hometown.

Max was drafted by Phoenix and should make the team next year. Phoenix hasn't really been a team that attracts players nor is it one that has had a track record of keeping its own.

How many years before we see Max in the blue and white?

Tie Domi was a hero? In whose mind?

 

[Pyromaniac3]

Why should we want him again?

I'll start with forever

I'll second that, the only reason he isn't in the NHL this season is because Arizona didnt want to pay his salary anyways.

How is Domi a Leaf legend? The **** is wrong with people.

People respect role players more than stars around here these days.

He probably also saw what it was like to live in a fishbowl and how hard it is to develop as a young player.

Well, reading comprehension is definitely an issue.

Tie Domi was in fact a fan-favourite. And he was treated like a hero on/off the ice.

No one used the term Leaf Legend.

And Max looks great. But as long as he's cost-controlled, Pheonix will hang on.

Trading someone like Domi is the last thing Arizona needs to do right now.

Never going to happen. Not likely anyways.

Does this mean Nylander is going to leave the leafs to play for a team his father used to play for? Or is this only exclusive to people who played for the leafs?

No it doesn't mean he will, but it certainly doesn't mean he won't. Although the situation is a little different. Domi played 11 straight seasons with the Leafs and spent even more years in the organization. Max grew up knowing only the Leafs. Nylander spent a max of 4 consecutive years with an organization and that was before William was born or just after he was.

Max grew up knowing just the Leafs. He probably more sheltered to the Leafs than 90% of Leaf fans growing up.

William grew up following many different teams his father played on. I highly doubt he has a favourite and if he did it was probably due to success there or off ice related reasons.

I wouldn't be surprised if both the Leafs and Max will have mutual interest in the future via FA or trade. Doesn't mean it will happen but at some point in his career I think Max will probably lean between two options of being a Leaf or pursuing something else. I think many players that grew up Leaf fans probably come to this point and a lot of them take the other option.
