Stop poutingYeah it takes a lot of skill to score 44% of your goals on empty nets.

caggigula has 18 assist in last 2 seasons. domi has 65 assists. plus he adds tenacity.
theres more to hockey than just goals
that was quite ridiculous of him to say what he saidI also like how he used the year average for Caggigula and the total amount for Domi... we see what you're doing bud lol
Domi's contract is as standard as it comes. Capfriendly had a projected caphit for him of 3.1M before he signed the deal.
Lol I'd take Domi over Cags 10/10! he brings more to the tableCaggiula just signed 2 years @ 1,5 AAV 20 goals in last 120 gp Domi 6.3 million 18 goals in last 141 games , How do people think this is a great deal
This is a fair contract, But still not a fan of his as a player. Also don’t like how the Habs continue to return to the “smurf” identity time and time again. Signing plekenac again would solidify it.
As a player yea as cap goes noLol I'd take Domi over Cags 10/10! he brings more to the table

He will still be RFA at the end of this contract.How is this a great contract? If he breaks out like Montreal is hoping (why else would you trade for a young player?) you then pay up the nose...
The only upside is if he fails, it's only 2 years...
File this under 'not a noteworthy contract'.

Oilers can't afford his cap it's that simple teams who are tight against it are not going to spend that on 9 goals . And Rnh has faced the toughest centers in the League for years sacraficing offence in the process now as McDavids winger he is allowed to use the talent that had him selected 1st overall , he will put up 30 goals 70 points playing with McDavid all season well worth his 6 million.By your logic you would rather have on your team Paul Byron at 1.1M and 42 goals the last two seasons over RNH at 6M and 42 goals two seasons.
You’re saving 4.9M and still get the same amount of goals. As cap goes, it’s a pretty sweet swap for your team

Trade looks good after that cheap signing
The cap hit is fine (as expected for a bridge) but after thinking about it...the 2-year term makes the cap hit almost meaningless in Montreal's situation:
- They're weren't gonna to have cap issues in the next 2 years (even with Chucks 4.9m).
- They won't be be competing for a cup in the next 2 years.
- Then his contract expires (and he'll probably pull a post bridge-deal Subban).
There's really only 2 outcomes (and neither is good for Bergevin):
1. Domi earns a long-term deal with a much higher cap-hit than he's earned to date (just in time for his cap hit to be important to the team). That makes this contract big failure.
2. Domi doesn't earn a long-term deal with a higher cap-hit than he's earned to date. That makes trading Galchenyuk for Domi big failure.
Bergevin just put himself in another no win situation.
He was confidant enough to trade much a better player for Max Domi...but he's not confidant enough to sign Domi to a long-term deal...at a time when Domi's signing value is lower than it's ever been & likely lower than it ever will be again (that is the perfect time to sign someone young).
Not all players all the same, maybe Bergevin believes giving him a bridge before his big pay-day will help him keep focused and motivated? Honestly, I completely agree with your assessment, just playing a little devil's advocate.
Thankfully the deal is far from the some of the bad contracts Bergevin has given out.
