Player Discussion Max Domi - RFA

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Wonder how much would Domi be awarded in arbitration?

2 years 5 million per? More? Less?

I say keep him as long as it's reasonable , he's one of our few young point producers. I feel he played best as C , but something has to give there...

KK,Suzuki,Domi,Danault , pick 3.

Trade Domi (does not fit with coach) and Danualt (no a true first line center). Get a true first line center and a really good defensive center with size and speed who is OK with defensive role and playing 3rd or 4th line (does not need to score).

new true first line center, Suzuki, KK, and 4th line shutdown center

True 1st liners as you describe are almost impossible to get , develop Suzuki and KK in that mold. It's between Domi and Danault for me , while Danault fits better he seems to have delusions of grandeur...

I think trading Domi is more realistic if Danault can not be threatened by the coming of age we are going to see with Suzuki and KK.

Arbitration are usually 1 year deal only.

Arbitration for 1 year, not two! $5M AAV would be about right.

Good plan! Except Montreal has been working on getting a “true #1C” for what, 15 years...? You think now they can go out an fill this void, just as easy as that? Do you happen to know which team has a spare “true #1C”?

The centre depth is finally something which is an asset in Montreal. Develop the kids (NS & KK) and support them the right way!

He’s traded!

or you have some reading issues, one or the other.

He's cooked IMO , I think he doesn't fit in what they're trying to build here.

They're trying to build a strong 2way team with a strong D and Goalie.

If you look through the whole roster you have Domi and Drouin that pretty much stick out as defensive liabilities...

And Drouin seems to have chemistry with Suzuki....Domi with no one.

Yeah, Domi looked like the guy on the edge the whole time...

 

[BLONG7]

Domi got 72 pts just two seasons ago.................he has the talent. He has an edge to him...he wants to stay. Could we pretend he is french, and there would be zero discussion about letting him go. Drouin is the one who should go, soft as butter in July. Pretty obvious here guys.

I too like this type of productive comment that adds so much to the discussion...

 

[Gally11]

I think they need to sign him to a short term deal and get his value up before trading him.

And people want to add Laine to the mix,another defensive liability with most likely a huge cap.

 

[McGees]

“it was simply a young man on social media changing the location to where he was residing. If he were in Florida on vacation, he would’ve put Florida” That spin that his agent said has me dizzy and is actually insulting to fans with brains.

This guy gets it!

"Max will play goalie if the coach asks him to," Ferris said.

Domi is lucky he isn't playing under previous management staff. They would have taken advantage of that statement.

Get a really good defensive center you say? Trade Danault you say?

Getting mixed messages here Hans

I'm guessing he thinks we'll get more for Danault than what it'll cost us to get a #3 center.

 

[BJCOLLINS]

I'm interested what you mean here because I'm trying to find tangible reasons/excuses for his bad play last year. If you could elaborate that would be great.

I've been back and forth on trading him. I think it's risky to keep him but I also think he can be a star. I'm intrigued on how he'd be used. It seems like he's better at C. A part of me is very intrigued to see what a centre line of Suzuki/KK/Domi could do. We'd need to spice up our wingers though to run 3 offensive lines.

If only we knew what the market for him would be. I'd think it would be pretty good. As much as I'd love to make him fit on this team I don't really know how to do that. If somehow the org is convinced he can play on the wing or that last year was just a blip. Maybe there was something undisclosed behind the scenes even during the regular season?

My point was simply, as a author of a newly published book Max had distractions that “may” have adversely affected his on ice performance. I have no proof of this other than his obvious drop in production. His market value is lower than its ever been so signing him now will give us a valuable asset if he returns to being a 70pt player. Cheers.
