Proposal: W. Nylander for Max Domi

[Swedish Gretzky]

I would like to see Max domi in a Leafs jersey. He seems to rise to the occasion and does not shy away from physical aspect of the game.

Leafs need: more skilled toughness, cap room. Domi is the rare blend of physical and also skilled
Habs need: more skill all around, 1C. Nylander would arguably have the higher offensive ceiling and is signed for longer term.



I'm not saying remotely likey, but interesting to consider thoughts?

Both teams say no

 

[TorontoTrades]

No.

Better chance of bringing Tie back

 

[Just Linda]

Hard decision.

On one hand, Nylander is so much softer and Montreal loses the drive Domi brings.

On the other hand Nylander is so much better than Domi.

Montreal should do that.

 

[Swedish Gretzky]

Both teams say no

Montreal needs more skill
Toronto needs more physicality

 

[Mersss]

I personnally do not want to help the leafs keep Marner and Matthews by giving them some cap relief.

Max Domi fits what Claude Julien wants in a player, and I could see him becoe our Brad Marchand... IDK if I want to throw that away in our division

Buying high and selling low in one fell swoop?

Say it ain’t so, HFBoards... say it ain’t so.

 

[Stickpucker]

Habs need a center. Would make more sense to make his a 2 fer 2 where Leaf get a RD.

 

[Menzinger]

Leafs say no fairly quickly. Domi is a fine player though

Look at the deal Tom wilson got or TJ Oshie.

0 interest in trading away our no 1 center

Denault wasn't in the trade

Funny pretty sure the 85 points pace Center is the no 1 not the 40 points pace one

Domi would give TML short term cap space next year when they need it. Do they really need 4 top 2 C's, though?

MTL would be trading a bird in the hand for 1.25 birds in the bush.

It's an interesting proposal, but really, shouldn't TML be looking to get better on D?

 

[CanadienShark]

Both sides rightly decline. Domi has been phenomenal for Montreal and fits them like a glove. Toronto just re-signed Nylander, who's got proven chemistry with Matthews. Toronto doesn't need a centre. Thus far, Domi has (amazingly imo) looked great at centre and should stay there. Nylander is more of a question mark at centre than Domi right now.

Neither side does it.

 

[Baksfamous112]

No thanks. No interest in a Domi/Nylander swap. So far Domi is capable of playing C and is over a PPG which Nylander has never been able to put up points at that pace.

Also, Nylander is soft and Domi isn’t. Easy no.

 

[Morbo]

No thanks from the Leafs.

I think it is presumptuous to think that Max Domi's pace is sustainable. 107.14 PDO, -8.14 rel xGF%, -6.57 rel CF%. Not exactly a recipe for sustainability.

Pretty sure your wrong on that one considering Denault gets more even strength time on ice and the Denault Tatar Gallagher line is the top line.

Yet he scored again tonight

Leafs need cap space and Domi doesnt always have to play centre. Plus this can allow Kadri to be shipped out for a King's ransom

Sure. Over time, the chances of his results dipping are very good. Stupid good puck luck with the PDO compounded with poor possession and shot quality metrics as well as a very high shooting percentage aren't exactly something that can be sustained on the marco-level.

Good for the Leafs. Habs aren’t interest and from my understanding you need two to tango.

Funny i've been hearing that for quite awhile now but we're 30 games in and he hasn't slowed down.
On the proposal we Habs have to pass. Domi is a C and we have enough wingers.

He’a the definition of skills. Only thing nylander has on domi is his shot. Wich domi has been obviously working on!
