Description
It would be great to have Domi back in MTL. Domi played best with Shaw and I feel as though Anderson is like Shaw, if not better. You'd have to put a defensive winger with them like Lehkonnen, Armia, or even Toffoli because Domi and Anderson lack defense but it could work.

As for the Dvorak trade, it's another trade option. I would either do the Domi trade or the Dvorak trade, not both.

Additional Details:
Both Byron and Domi are likely to miss the first bit of the season with surgery recovery. Domi is worth less than buchnevich so I think the value is fair.

That is a brilliant strategy...Try and improve your Center depth by trading with a team that has even FEWER true centers than Montreal.
Good luck with that.

But Byron has proven, three times, to be totally worthless. The 3rd and 4 th may not cover him. Domi for Schueneman??

2 out of the final 4 teams in the playoffs got there without a #1C.

Byron is not worthless. He's an asset on the ice.
It's only his contract which is prohibitive.
Even if someone is considered a cap dump, there's a distinction between players who have something to offer and players who have negative performance value.
