Player Discussion Max Domi - Maximus Dominatus Edition

[Captain Mountain]

I don't get the Lehkonen bashing. Yes, his lack of scoring is frustrating. He's also 2nd on the team in ES points and P/60 and been generally effective on that line.

The bigger issue is his lack of scoring and that Suzuki doesn't look ready at all for regular season play. Lehkonen is more of a glue guy on a line, he shouldn't be the primary weapon.

 

[Hins77]

I would put Byron instead of Weal on his line. Imo weal have the tools to play on PP because the pace of the game is slower, but at 5 vs 5 this guy is just terrible.

I believe it's going to happen once Cousins is cleared to play. He'll replace Byron on the 4th line and Suzuki is going to be sent down.

Suzuki will have to play 15 game at least before to send him down imo. If he can handle the pace of the NHL he will never sent down. He played on the fourth line and he had 16 minutes TOI against st louis. Drouin, KK and Armia had less TOI. It wont be benefit to him to go in the AHL just for « produce ». This guy already know it. The pace in the AHL is slower and is gonna play with worst player. It could be worst for him. Gallagher wasnt a beast in the AHL and did not produce that much and look what hes doing in the NHL..

Gallagher was the best player on the Bulldogs as a rookie.

I don't think they'll keep him up, unless he finds a way to produce offense, at least on the powerplay. If he's going to just eat minutes while being responsible defensively, then they have better players for this role.

Did u watched all his games during he was playing in Hamilton?

Be interesting if Cousins could fill that role Shaw played alongside Domi. A poor man's Shaw, but wonder if they might have chemistry. Not sure if they ever played together in Phx. Might just be me, but Byron just seems off this year. Still early tho.

Do I need to watch every Panthers game to know Barkovs their best player ? What a strange question.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

5 points in 5 games playing with our worst wingers. Impressive.

This role will be filled by Lehkonen.

That he was producing with Lehkonen and Shaw at the end of last year told me a lot.

In fact Shaw produced more with him than Kane and Toews in the past.

 

[G0bias]

Should've signed him this summer. Domi's legit.

 

[The Great Weal]

Should've signed him this summer. Domi's legit.

No worries, we will do our best to make him unproductive by supplying him with literal garbage as linemates so he will sign a cheaper contract. Can't wait for Nick Cousins to get a turn playing with him next.

Actually surprised Jordan Weal isn't his center by now.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Did someone suggest not too long ago that the Domi trade was a lateral move?

Am I living in some alternate universe?

Can I at least not hear any more about how Galch is more skilled than Domi? That assist on Gally's goal?

80% of the time Galch would try to stickhandle through a couple players, he'd lose the puck. Domi can do it at top speed while fighting off defenders. FFS.

Hope not. Hope they send him down yesterday.

 

[JianYang]

Domi's speed is made for today's game, but his "hate" level is similar to past eras.

We need more of this in today's game. It just makes the games more engaging to watch.

 

[Runner77]

Maybe they did try. How do we know if Domi's camp is open to make a deal now as opposed to waiting the season out?

That's what I would do if I were in his position. That said, would we really not hear anything if they did make him an offer, one that would effectively make him the highest paid forward?

If Domi continues to play as he did last season,he will be the highest paid forward. Habs might wait a bit more too see if his play is sustainable.

Domi's agent really has no reason to make his negotiations public, esp. that MB is tight-lipped about terms -- it would be a grave faux pas for the agent to make any aspect of their discussion public. I

They had some talks at the start of the summer, that much was admitted to by MB but just looking at his facial expression, it was like pulling teeth -- he didn't want to go there at all:



Man, that facial contortion he does when answering the Domi contract question, I should probably make a gif out of it.

hahhaaha do all pro CJ comments get deleted on this board? Is that why there isn't any? Would kind of like an explanation for this comment getting severely edited. Did it just hit maximum sarcasm? Or do we have no CJ thread somehow so there was nowhere to move it to?

@Runner77

Has this been brought to your attention already? Seeing as you've already made the Joker link to Domi with your photoshopping skills. Looks like you had a premonition:

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

As it turns out, he really DOES make for a pretty darn good Joker
