"When answering why Max Domi is with the Leafs the five answers are fairly straight forward: His contract isn't easy to buy out, trade or bury. The illusion that he provides centre depth. You can easily point to half a roster of forwards with equally bad offensive outputs. His departure would mean Brad Treliving having to eat crow when the team's record is already bringing some heat The family name and his place in the locker room."
"None of these are great reasons, but the volume of them is why not only has it been difficult to see the Leafs parting ways with Max Domi but why he's been surprisingly immune to healthy scratches despite being on a 21-game goalless streak and having just 8 assists over that stretch. Almost impossibly, this is the fourth time during Domi's run with the Maple Leafs that he's gone over 20 games without a goal."
Max Domi has played for seven organizations in 11 seasons and rarely stayed beyond two years, with the Arizona Coyotes the sole team he spent three seasons with. He is nearing the most games played for any club with the Toronto Maple Leafs despite posting his lowest points-per-game with Toronto among teams he stayed with for more than 20 games. Multiple non-performance reasons explain his retention: a difficult contract to move, perceived centre depth, comparable offensive struggles across the roster, front-office optics tied to Brad Treliving, and his family and locker-room role. Domi has endured multiple extended goalless streaks and projects to mirror prior underwhelming production.
