Montreal has a top 3 Center core of Suzuki, Kotkaniemi, and Danault.

Unless Domi wants to play the wing, which it does not seem like he does, it makes sense that he is on his way out.

The caveat is there are whispers that Danault may also be looking to move on.

pretty sure having an agent who is close friends with your GM is not a good thing

And then firing said agent.

Wonder if Montreal would deal within the division.

On top of the above, they want to permanently move the dates of the season from October - June to December/January - September.

Would suck for the players. As is they get to enjoy the summer months

I still believe if we draft Rossi he will also be on the 3rd line with cozens

Rossi-Smith- cozens for the 3rd line

You ever watch a man's sh1t get pushed in?

Because this is what you are advocating.

My only question there, is how many times have we seen playoff games affected by crap ice when it’s too hot out? Will all the arenas be upgraded to handle a summer season?!?

They should all have been upgraded a long time ago, as many southern arenas have bad ice for all of October, and from March to the end of the season.

Problem is some teams use the bad ice to their advantage with their style of play.

The bad quality of ice should cease being a home ice advantage.

Where is rob ray pound the the desk with a hotdog in the other hand!

Domi would be a great get! And I’d still look to upgrade the 2c And let Domi play 3c with cozens.

If the best player available to this team this offseason is a winger (like Ehlers) go get him.

Max Domi is not very good. He’s empty calorie point producer who’s bad at a lot of things

And what if you kept those seasons the same and expanded the amount of players an NHL team can carry so the kids can get some nhl practice in? Or is that just too much hockey on the kids after their seasons are complete?

It’s an interesting idea. But you are probably right that there would be too many issues down the line to be feasible.

But if it’s a cost of Monte and mojo...

I’ll take

Jack
Domi
Kahun/ Cozens/ OG Larry or similar
Lazer Larry

Over anything else we’ve cobbled together since ROR...

If that’s the cost yes. Domi is a good EV scorer so it’s not all bad. He doesn’t really drive offense though and is bad defensively.

His 72 point 28 goal year is an outlier of the 5 he’s played

Ssssooooo

Skinner / Domi / Tage or Kahun ... would be interesting to watch. Lol. And I’m looking at Domi at 2c until Cozens is ready, then Max moves to 3c. Is there any chance the great an powerful master motivator can fix his defensive game?

If Domi is the 2C we’d need to keep someone like Larsson to take some D zone work.

Or trust Krueger’s system would improve his D game

He does not want to play on the 3rd line I see them moving on from him also
