No. 10 Toronto Maple Leafs Potential Trade Target: Max Domi

I feel like I’ve been writing about wanting the Toronto Maple Leafs to acquire Domi for a decade now. However, I continue to beat the drum with this acquisition because it makes a ton of sense.

Not only would it be so much fun to have another Domi wear a Leafs jersey and have Tie in the building a bunch, but his skillset would fit in the Leafs line-up admirably.

Drafted 12th overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Domi was electric in the OHL alongside Mitch Marner with the London Knights. Although his career hasn’t panned out like Marner’s, he’s still an asset.

Domi hasn’t had the opportunity of playing with high-skilled players that much in his career, but when he has, he’s excelled. He scored 28 goals in the 2018-19 season and a lot of that had to do with his linemates.

I truly think if Domi plays alongside Auston Matthews or Mitch Marner, he will find the right areas and score a bunch of goals. I want this to happen more than any other trade, so although he’s not one of the sexiest names, I think this move could really help the team.
