Max Domi's Latest Maple Leafs Promotion May Have an Ulterior Motive
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi has been struggling this season and there are all sorts of rumors that Brad Treliving will move him at the trade deadline.
Max Domi has had two massive goalless droughts so far this season and in the eyes of many, his production has simply become unacceptable.
So much so that there are now rumors that Brad Treliving is shopping Domi and his expensive contract.
Max Domi moves up to Toronto Maple Leafs second line
This Saturday, the Maple Leafs are taking on the Ottawa Senators and they will be missing guys like John Tavares and maybe even Matthew Knies.
As a result, Max Domi found himself on the second line this morning as he was paired with Pontus Holmberg and William Nylander.
Meanwhile, his former linemate Bobby McMann was put on the top line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner.
Domi-Holmberg-Nylander
Lorentz-Kampf-Robertson
Quillan-Minten-Reaves
Absent: Dewar, Knies (skated before)
Rielly-McCabe
OEL-Tanev
Benoit-Myers
Hakanpaa-Timmins
Woll
Murray
Stolarz
This brings up an interesting point, which is that perhaps Domi is getting that second-line look as a means of putting on a show for prospective teams.
If Treliving wants to make a trade involving Domi, there is no way he gets a good return unless Domi increases his offensive production.
Playing with William Nylander can certainly help him do that, although Holmberg as a second-line Center is a bit concerning.
Whatever the case may be, Domi needs to be better and we're sure the forward understands that.
