Confirmed Signing with Link: Montreal re-sign Max domi [2 years/$3.15M AAV]

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Smooth.

Likely.

 

[Kraken Jokes]

9 goals a year gets you over 3M a year?

Is shooting pucks the only thing required of a hockey player?

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Good "show me" contract for the Habs.

9 goals a year gets you over 3M a year?

Joe Thornton signs one-year deal to stay with San Jose Sharks - Sportsnet.ca

7 goals gets you 8M a year? Oh wait, it's dumb to base a playmaker's value on goals alone.

Thornton is top-100 all time in goals in NHL history. Maybe not the best comparison, for a plethora of other reasons as well.

I agree that it’s not a bad contract though.

 

[LTIR]

Good contract but lol @ posts from MTL side that they won the trade.

Thornton hasn't cracked 20 goals since 2011 and still got an 8 mil per deal. The comparison is fine.

thornton has put up a sh**load of assists

 

[PensandCaps]

"Godly" for 9 goals, 4 of which were empty netters?

Low expectations in MTL. Justifiably so.

Domi's game is play making.

Don't just look at goals...

 

[BrindamoursNose]

At least it was a good extension.

Need some kind of silver lining

 

[ijuka]

Is Bergevin planning on signing Cap Space as a UFA?

Team that struggles with scoring goals, trades away one of their best goal-scorers. Who is he "play making" to? Danault? Drouin?

They struggle at scoring goals because they don’t have playmakers. Pacioretty, Gallagher, Galchenyuk, Lehkonen, Byron are all shoot first players. Drouin is the only actual playmaker on the team.

Plekanec was a playmaker, Danault is a playmaker.

The real issue is that these players just aren't very good. But of course, perhaps the master plan is having Domi feeding Lehkonen...

Lol those two aren’t playmakers. They were gap fillers.

 

[TS Quint]

Damnly good contract wow.
We won that trade juste because of that godly contract.

Just gettin Chucky of the team is a win. Getting a Domi and this contract makes it 2x as good

 

[Oddbob]

YES! If you don't only score goals, they may as well take you out back and put you down!

 

[Highmarker]

The contract is good for Domi. a 45 pt player for under 2 million is great.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

3.15 for 9 goals, half of them being empty netters.

Goalscoring issues in Montreal = Solved.

I hope Bergevin stays on as GM in Montreal for the next decade. Please.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

LMAO at the toronto fans saying it was " too expensive" and wanted only a couple of hundred thousands lower.
so you are saying that a 3.15M contract is shitty for a 23 years old winger of 0.61pp, but a 2.98M is a perfect deal ?

are you really arguing habs fan on 100'000$-250'000$ ? are you even real ?
When you gotta find the problem but there is none you invent it.

we will repeat because you don'T seem to understand much. It'S not always about goals, Thornton don't score, henrik sedin neither. It's about playmaking capability.
MB clearly had the idea in mind to draft scoring wingers and buy high on Tavares or O'R

Thornton, Sedin, Domi.

One of them is not like the others.

 

[Rafafouille]

Interesting. MTL has 19M cap space with the cap going to 80M. Danault + DLR will get at most 4M total so 15M.


If Pacioretty goes the other way, MTL could very possibly afford both ROR + Tavares...

Domi-Tavares-Drouin
Lehkonen-ROR-Gallagher
Hudon-Danault-Byron
Who cares about #4

That... Doesn't look half bad. It's obviously not happening but it's good to dream.

That's the part that definitely makes sense about this deal. They definitely need a playmaker more than a shooter. The problem is that the Habs who could benefit most from adding a playmaker - Lehkonen, Hudon, and Pacioretty - are all also left handed shots who generally play best as left wings. Those guys all got individual shots and scoring chances at a first line rate but scored a combined 21 goals at 5 on 5 last year.

Galchenyuk only had 4 less assists than Domi, last season, but 10 more goals.
I’d take the 10 more goals and 4 less assists

Why in the name of whatever fairytale god you believe in, would Tavares sign in the swirling vortex of crap that is Montreal?
Seriously now.... give your head a shake.

 

[AuraSphere]

This would be a nice contract on a contender, but does MTL really need cap space for the 2 years that theyll most likely be a non-playoff team. The owners have clearly given the signal for a rebuild.

I think it'll hurt them in the long run instead for not signing a long term deal.
