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

[stanley25]

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.

If they are rebuilding I dont think its about the cap space as much as the 4 years rfa status compared to 2 years ufa.

But why not get some significant picks and actual prospects rather than a bandaid player?

 

[Canada4Gold]

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

It's 3.15 per year, not total

I would have wanted picks also but considering the consensus has been that galchenyuk wasn't worth a top 10 pick. Habs have a much better chance with Domi then a late 1st and a 2nd/3rd rounders.

thornton has put up a sh**load of assists

And?

 

[Duck Off]

Good contract but that is still a bad trade for the Habs.

News out of Montreal is better every day.

Lmao really? K then I don't understand everyone being thrilled with the contract then. What were people expecting Domi to receive?

 

[rynryn]

that's a lot of money. they must be really really confident they can bring out the best in him otherwise he's just a really highly paid shit disturber.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

It's a fair contract. Bergevin did not get a discount though. Signed through rfa years, so he wouldn't have to pay a premium for any ufa years. Domi's agent could probably have tried to use arvidsson as a comp less ufa years. Anyone that says the contract is low, it isn't. Anyone saying the contract is high, it isn't. This is one of those rare occasions where (perceived) player value, team value, and league value for a contract are as close to matched up as can be. I don't think that Montreal really needs another smallish skilled playmaking winger, but at least he isn't overpaid based on 'potential'

the f?
3.15 mil is a lot for a guy who averages 50 points in his career?

math isn't really my forte but...he had one year barely over 50 points and the other two not so I don't think that's how averages work. you guys will just blindly slather love over everything anyway so not that it matters. I guess the hope is he'll make other people score goals, then?

 

[Captain Controversy]

Good contract. Domi is gonna do great on the habs.
Now, get a 1 C.

He avergaged .61 points per game in his career, which is a 50 point average.

[Cole4Christmas]

Bad trade, contract isn’t long enough to make it a steal or a burden.

Bridge contract pushes him to produce. Also why sign him to X years when you can sign him to a 2 year bridge THEN sign him to X years. It extends the amount of time you have him under your control.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Kotkaniemi

ok cool. in 3 years you guys can compete.

 

[Patagonia]

I like the contract, still terrible trade by the Habs. Surprised Galy was not openly offered, I'm sure the Habs could have gained a larger return.

Probably not in a 1 on 1

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

expected contract. still traded too much for him though

 

[Legend123]

Damn good contract but was hoping long term at 4M AAV if possible

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Thornton, Sedin, Domi.

One of them is not like the others.

You clearly didnt get my point, again...
Im not saying they are all as good.. im saying they all dont score goals because they have other strength.. jesus christ dude

 

[rynryn]

as long as MTL fans are happy I guess it was a good trade and/or signing. Honestly really like the change of scenery trades.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

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.

Where the f*** is sherbak lmao ?
Do you follow the habs?

 

[Schenn]

I think Domi will be in TSN's trade board in the second year of the contract at the deadline.
