Rumor: Max Domi Sucks - Not Being Actively Shopped per Chayka

[Sinurgy]

I'm too lazy to check but I'd be interested in knowing what Domi's shooting percentage has been since he broke his hand.

4.6%

But I don't think that was much a factor tbh. For example he shot 8% after returning but before the end of the season. And he had a full offseason to heal further after that.

Domi has not been the same since he broke his hand. I hope that is only coincidence.

 

[Alberta Yote]

He does kind of suck

 

[Lilhoody]

He is a RFA next year. His play isn't going to help his pay.

 

[Hagstrom]

Why is his shots per game so low?! It feels like he goes 5 or 6 games withouth registering more than 1 or 2 shots

He used to have the perfect balance between passing and shooting but lately it seems like he'll pass up good shooting opportunities and instead force a pass. I'm sure he's probably in his own head at this point. Another big reason for not registering shots is he's been missing the net a lot.

 

[SniperHF]

He misses the net a lot for sure.

Not sure he's actually shooting less though.

Shots for / 60	17/18	6.91
	16/17	6.41
	15/16	7.06
Shot attempts / 60	17/18	14.15
	16/17	12.52
	15/16	13.44
Primary points /60	17/18	0.82
	16/17	1.68
	15/16	1.9

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Shots for are about the same, shot attempts are a little up but basically the same.
It's not just numbers though, it's when you miss. Early in the season he'd miss the net on breakaways. Though now he's just stopped getting breakaways

While I was there though I noticed his primary points number and.....

Off a freaking cliff right there. Geez man, how?

He would be a decent example of a player that could fetch value in a trade. Sure, he's not doing well this season, but any GM would probably offer a pretty decent piece(s) for him if traded (especially if they have some decent scorers). Add Domi to a team with some veteran snipers or great passers and he'd probably excel. Despite his unlucky play, I think he still has a similar value to what he has had (maybe slightly lower, but not by much),

I don't want to trade him. I want him sent to a shrink, a yogi, and a motivational life coach. Whatever it takes. Get his head right. He should be our captain and leading scorer right now. Not just "a guy".

I don't think Domi will ever be our captain or leading scorer. You are right, we have to keep him not trade him.

 

[Ebb]

I'd love to keep him too, if he can return to form; however, if moving him (probably in a package of some sort) could get us a #1C, you gotta consider it.

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

I'm not suggesting this is the case, but his % given his "attempts" seems almost impossible to do except on purpose lol. It's pretty bad. Idk what he has to do to get it right, but the team could desperately use a dangerous Domi on the ice.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Are we sure that this isn't a health issue? Remember PP's down year when his diabetes wasn't well controlled?

 

[SniperHF]

Earlier in the season I was curious about other offensive minded players who had ridiculously low shooting percentages through a whole season and how it compared to Domi.

For this I took players who shot more than 150 times in a season, players who shoot the puck often usually being in offensive roles.
Some checking line guys will get that many shots so it's not a perfect test. But For example Martinook is a checker primarily and he averages about 100 shots a year. Rinaldo a goon has 50 per year or so.

The worst I found was Valeri Bure, who was at one time no slouch offensively putting up 75 points right in the thick of the DPE.
He somehow managed to shoot just 3.1% in 2003.

Max Domi has not yet hit 150 shots this season, but he probably will end up around 170 shots. If his current pace holds, he will have the worst shooting percentage among forwards with >150 shots. Of all time.

Player	Shots	Shooting%
Max Domi	104	2.90%
Valeri Bure	161	3.10%
Gary Mcadam	291	3.40%
Shane Doan	156	3.80%

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Interesting name at the end of the list there though. And Mcadam was definitely one of those checkers who found his way into the shot total list, the 80's man. 291 shots......

I dunno, just based on eye test I thought he looked okay early in the season. Lately he seems to have a little less jump but it's a long season.

 

[hbk]

I wouldn’t write him off just yet. He’s still a top 2 line player.

 

[hbk]

Domi for a C makes sense. Zibanajad?

 

[moosemeister]

Or just move him back to wing.

 

[hbk]

If we draft 2-4 (80% chance) we are taking a winger. We need to improve at C and trading Domi would make more sense than trading down.

Could always trade down for a defenseman.

But agreed, just hard to find a team that has a surplus of young, nhl ready centers, that need young wingers. To make matters worse, seems like a lot of the C/W players that have been drafted the past couple seasons are ending up as wingers in the NHL.

Domi being a fan favorite as well would make it hard to swallow. This team and rebuild is absolutely dependent on Strome turning into a top 6 center within the next two seasons.

 

[Jakey53]

Domi for a C makes sense. Zibanajad?

Why would NYR even consider this? It would have to be a big + from the Coyotes, and even then the NYR would be very weak at C.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Domi won't bring in a C. Perhaps OEL. Perhaps.

 

[hbk]

Agreed It would be a pretty good plus. I would envision any sort of Domi deal to be more of the traditional "hockey trade" where it's players of similar age getting exchanged. Would love to get Logan Brown to be honest but I've been singing that song for a couple of years. Edmonton for RNH? Domi was highly sought after his draft year so there will be significant interest.

I started with Rangers as report of AZ shopping Domi originated with Brooks.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

He used to be short, not small. Now he is just little.
