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

[Frank Drebin]

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

Any reasoning for that? You think he's a bust? Honest question.

 

[rynryn]

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

that smacks of "on pace for 50 goals = a 50 goal scorer" tbh.

 

[Montecristo]

Wouldn’t call this deal great or bad. Seems fair.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

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

I didn't get your point because it was terrible. Career high of 36 assists. Who's he going to be feeding the puck to in Montreal?

 

[Plub]

Montreal fans are going to love him soon enough. He's more skilled than he is being given credit for right now.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

basically 9 goals in each of last 3 seasons is the reason for the low contract, if he had around 20 goals it would be closer to 4 or more million.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Thornton, Sedin, Domi.

One of them is not like the others.

Sedin has a twin brother?

According to some, he's an Andrew Shaw...

 

[Stephen]

Going to form a fearsome top six along with Drouin, Gallagher. Maybe the Habs will trade for Skinner too.

When he has missed a total of 23 games over 3 seasons ppg is an acceptable measure of work in my mind.

 

[KPower]

Get out a habs post if you don't care, you are delusional.

Marc Bergevin burner account?

I'm a big Domi fan. His dad was my favourite player as a kid, I'm a big London Knights fan and loved him there. I think he is a fine middle 6 winger right now and could potentially have the potential to be more if he is put in the right situation to succeed. My problem is on this incarnation of the Montreal Canadiens he is not going to have the proper cast around him to put him into successful situations and I feel that by half way through his 2nd season with the Habs, the fans and media are going to slightly turn on him and you will begin to see him on the trade bait board. Not to mention by that time he will be almost 25 so if there is a change of management or philosophy there (ie: rebuild) he would be a semi valuable asset to move at that time as a pending rfa.

If Domi was put on a loaded team I think he could run shotgun with a true top line with the best of them, but the Habs don't have that. Just my opinion anyways.

 

[Prairie Habs]

As long as we don't trade back into the 1970's it shouldn't be an issue

 

[CraigsList]

Domi may not score goals, but this guy is a good playmaker and can get rough when his teammates need help. Solid bridge deal, I think he is going to increase his value within the next two seasons with the Habs.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

He will have a much better cast than he did with arizona... In his first 2 years, Domi was basically the best forward for arizona and a top 2 player for their team.
In Montreal, there is Pacioretty, Gallagher, Drouin, Weber and Price who will have bigger roles than Domi.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Get out a habs post if you don't care, you are delusional.

You like this trade, compared Domi to Sedin and Thorton and I'm the delusional one?

I'm not convinced Patches will be back and I think Weber has begun his descent. His return from the injury is going to be very telling. It's very much a fluid situation. Montreal's cast will be no better than Arizona's from this past season, imo.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

He will have a much better cast than he did with arizona.

Lol, no.

 

[David Suzuki]

According to some, he's an Andrew Shaw...

Some people also said Weber was a third pairing Dman when the Habs acquired him.

 

[A1LeafNation]

3m is all he could get... he must suck ass now.

 

[WrinkledPossum]

As a Coyotes fan I think this is fair. It's a bridge deal that's a few hundred thousand more than what I was hoping he'd sign for in Arizona. I was also wanting only a 1-year bridge deal so that may be why the salaries a bit higher.

 

[Sigh]

Too bad... kinda liked the kid.

 

[rajuabju]

Its a fine bridge contract. Its just.... Domi hasnt impressed me. Maybe the change of scenery helps, maybe doesnt. Seems ok.

Habs need to do a lot more than this to be competitive though

 

[mouser]

Was in the AAV range I was expecting. Reasonable bridge contract.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

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?

I'll give you a hand.

135/222 x 82 = 49.86
