Toronto Maple Leafs Reporter Claims Max Domi is in Big Trouble
Toronto Maple Leafs reporter Justin Bourne did a pre-trade deadline piece in which he made some eye-opening remarks about forward Max Domi.
The trade deadline is about to take place on March 7th and Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving has some big decisions to make.
One player who appears to be on the hot seat is Max Domi, who only has three goals this season, and has largely struggled as the team's third-line center.
Are the Toronto Maple Leafs trading Max Domi?
The Domi rumors have been accelerating as of late, and a new piece from reporter Justin Bourne furthers the notion that the media is convinced the forward could be gone in a few weeks.
Bourne claims that the forward is the top player in trouble on the Maple Leafs right now, and that he could be a victim of the team's plan to nab a middle-six center.
🔹Top Player in Trouble: Max Domi.
🔹Top Team to Pilfer: Boston Bruins.
🔹Top Concern: Fans Being Sold «Internal Fixes» to Roster Holes.
Bourne also floated around the idea of the Toronto Maple Leafs acquiring guys like Colton Parayko and maybe even Brock Nelson.
In this scenario (player-dependent), the team would be better-probably about as much better as the teams around them. That leaves them with a fighting chance, rather than an advantage. And with that, I suppose they could then start talking about how Calle Jarnkrok is an upgrade, etc.
As much as I'd love for them to land Parayko, or Dylan Cozens, or do something crazy like find a way to get Mikko Rantanen with crazy retention, it's hard to see it happening. The salary cap is going up, but things are still tight, and their asset list is pretty short. (I can't shake the «But, boy, Vegas always seems to find a way» voice in the back of my head.)
The mandate for the front office is clear, thanks to the soft division I mentioned off the top. They're not surrounded by Olympic-level sprinters for once, so they need to get the best player or two they can-because they have a legitimate chance to outrun this somewhat flawed group around them.»
Maple Leafs fans have been anticipating a big move for a while now, and it remains to be seen if it will actually happen.
Sure, the team is first in the Atlantic Division, but there are still a ton of adjustments that can be made moving forward.
Hopefully, Brad Treliving is able to find a viable trade partner to give the fans what they have been praying for.
