Max Domi provides grit, toughness and blue-collar work ethic while remaining an inconsistent contributor. He produced moments of impact, including an overtime playoff goal, but has frequently faded. At 30 years old, he likely has reached his peak and may face decline. He functions as a middle-six forward who can fill in at center, but his numbers do not justify a full-time role down the middle. His $3.75 million cap hit makes him costly for a grinder, and he has three seasons remaining on his contract, limiting roster options.
Max Domi has got to be the most enigmatic player on the Toronto Maple Leafs ' roster. Last season, he was in the doghouse for large stretches of the season. He strung solid games together, only to disappear again. In the postseason, his inclusion on the lineup was questioned until he came up big in overtime against the Ottawa Senators. Then, he faded away again. There's no question that Domi is a talented player. But he's 30.
He's a middle-six player at this point in his career. He's a hardworking grinder who can fill in at center if needed. However, his numbers have not backed up a full-time role down the middle. The club can expect grit, toughness, and blue collar work ethic. The problem is that his $3.75 million cap hit makes him an expensive grinder. The Maple Leafs can't really expect him to all of a sudden turn into a 30-goal scorer.
