Quoting: Penguins_Legend_Sheary
What'd you guys think of this idea?
I liked Domi's flashes of potential in Arizona. His breakout season in Montreal was quite a revelation. His speed, 28 goals, willing to fight was nuts.
It seemed that Montreal continued to give him every chance to get back to that but something was off. I don't know if it was attitude, off-ice issues or what but MB gave up on him for a guy that scored 1 goal in the 2018/19 postseason and only 1 goal in 2019/20 regular season...and MTL won the trade.
I can't believe that CLB signed Domi for $5,300,000. He looks to be a 10 goal, $2 MIL player at most but might rebound to be a small 20 goal scorer that plays with an edge.
All that being said, I do like him more than most of our LH wingers. It would definitely have to be 1/2 retained because of his current value NOT because of Leafs cap space. I also agree with
@palhal and with Domi's current level of play I would rather see Engvall, Petan or Boyd play even if Domi was at the CLB unrealistic 50% retention of $2,650,000. I believe having a 2nd team retain would be too costly in assets for the Leafs to consider it.
It must burn CLB to watch Josh Anderson playing so well in MTL.
