Leafs say no. Can't afford Domi after this season and not worth giving up Kapanen for 20 games of Domi

big wrong it's not even close to only 20 games because he is a restricted free agent after the upcoming year, and if you can somehow make it work (some moves can be made, but Toronto fans dread giving up homer players) It could be done, and I think Domi would bring something solid to the Wing of Toronto where they seem to lack at points. This could truely mean Nylander goes to 3C Domi takes his spot, and Kerfoot moves over to the slightly slacking LW.

What cap dump would you consider to resign Domi who would be a natural in Toronto ?

It would be great to see Domi and Marner reunited after their London Knights days together but will never happen as he is too expensive for Leafs.

Montreal declines and Marc Bergevin blocks Dubas number

Just to get you up to speed, kerfoot is on the left wing with nylander/Tavares and actually brings grit. Something I didn’t know he had before this season.

Domi will cost too much and it just isn’t worth it. (For the leafs not the value) kappy is RHW, signed for 2 more years and expires rfa. Habs say no, leafs say no.

Leafs have zero bad contracts. There is no one to dump.

Well he will just have to block this Habs fan’s number...

Nylanders ppg. Hes not going 3c & kerfoot isnt on the team if they add another 5m $ player

Lack of points from the wing....move Nylander.

Seriously what? Have you seen or read about Nylander with JT? 73 point pace and over the past 25 games I think he has 30 points or something. They are having no problems scoring from the wings. Like at all.

you misread. It's a depth move. Domi moves to wing. You only get more winger depth. Not that the top guys lack it's the depth that lacks.

Bergevin reply with Nylander vs Domi + 2nd and 3rd and Domi will be cheaper than Nylander

The Leafs have a 3rd liner on pace for close to 50 points, another one on pace for 40 and another one on pace for close to 40. Show me 1 team that has that kind of depth. Depth is not at all lacking.

exactly what comes from a Toronto fan Offense Offense Offense Offense Offense Offense Offense Offense Offense Offense Offense Offense Offense Offense no Defense. You have no DEFENSE depth on the forward core.

Kerfoot is one of the highest rated defensive players in the League. Kapanen is a terrific two way player. As is Johnsson and Engvall has shown very good responsibility. This is a typical non leaf fan response. You criticize without doing your homework and make comments that lack understanding of what is happening in TO.

Read what I said bud. It would be only 20 games if they got him at the deadline. Well 20 plus playoffs. Then he'd be gone because he's probably gonna ask for $6-$8M per season. Leafs can't afford that. So why give up Kapanen, Bracco, and a pick for him now when they'd have to move more assets just to re-sign him?

Nylander isn't moving to 3C because they want him in the top 6 and that line of Kerfoot/Tavares/Nylander has been one of the best lines lately. So Domi wouldn't even play top 6 in Toronto. & Toronto's points from the wingers is fine. Marner, Nylander, Hyman, and Kerfoot are kicking down the top 6 just fine. & it's much smarter to pay a guy like Johnsson or Engvall or a Marlie player on a cheap deal they're kinda money than pay Domi as much as he's gonna want to play a bottom 6 role.

Acquiring Domi makes no sense for the Leafs unless he can play in their top 6 and he can't right now. Do some research before you comment.

yes I know that, but adding onto that their are only a couple guys on your forward core who plays defense when you look at the 2 stanley cup teams. Bergeron, Marchand, etc. and the other one O'Reilly, Schenn, Sundqvist, Barbashev etc. You need to balance the Forward lineup just as much as the defenseman lineup. It's not me coming down on you for having only a couple decent defensive forwards it just it could improve, and especially when it comes to playoffs Toronto's forwards who lack defensively have shown. So it is you who is lacking the understanding of what I am saying.

well if he asks for 6-8M guess what you gets what we call Compensation picks, so you aren't losing out on him because he is an RFA bud.

A very unknown fact about this current season. Matthews by all advanced stats is far better defensively than anyone gives him credit for. He's in the top 5 in the league at take aways and continues to show his commitment towards improving.

indeed, but again he doesn't play all 4 lines. You need balance among all the lines.

After Toronto would have already given up Kapanen, Bracco, and a pick.. for 20 games of Domi and a few picks? Yeah sounds real smart bud.

The 4th line has been one of the best all season. The 3rd line is finally looking like its settling into place. I have no idea what you are talking about. You mention Bergeron (a top line centre), and then mention how the Leafs need depth, which they do and now you are talking about all 4 lines again. Seems like you just want to say "Leafs suck" with no understanding of how they are playing.

Kapanen has already been in the rumors that he is heading out the door anyway. You won't be able to sign him after his contract is up if you have other players coming in Bracco meh doesn't need to be apart of the trade, but a 3rd to upgrade into a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd yeah you can say whatever you want but a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd>3rd

I understand completely that they are good, but they are only an offensive powerhouse. Teams need to be balanced on Offense and Defense because at the end of the day Playoff Hockey is completely different from Regular Season hockey. Just because a team is good in regular season (Tampa, Toronto, Washington, Calgary, San Jose) doesn't mean they are gonna make it far, or win a cup.

giving up a guaranteed NHL middle 6 winger thats one of the fastest in the league and has a solid 2way game and has multiple years left on a very reasonable deal, for 20 games of a player and MAYBE 3 picks that MAY make the league.. is just beyond stupid. How often do offersheets happen? Almost never. There's been 1 in the last 10 years. So they'd have to probably trade Domi in the summer.. that's very poor asset management but think what you want.
