So you think you can get Domi for that? Dont come and tell me hes been playing bad, you put him on your first line fgs
What's interesting is that Strome and Domi are almost the same player. Very good passers who aren't great at D. But also they're total victims to whoever their linemates are.
Domi last year had Shaw as his main linemate with Drouin. Shaw and Drouin combine to average 2.4 pts/60, Domi puts up 2.8 pts/60
Domi 2 years ago in Arizona was between Dvorak and Keller. Combined Dvorak and Keller average 1.7 pts/60, Domi puts up 1.7 pts/60
This year Domi's main linemates were Lehkonen and Armia. Combined they average 1.61 pts/60, Domi put up 1.68 pts/60
It's like Domi's scoring is almost entirely dependent on his linemates...
Same thing with Strome:
Last year, Vesey and Chytil combine for 1.3 pts/60....Strome gets 1.3 pts/60
In Edmonton, Strome is saddled with Lucic and Puljujarvi, They combine for 1.3 pts/60. Strome gets 1.4 pts/60
And this year, Panarin and Fast combine for 2.4 pts/60. Strome gets 2.1 pts/60
Again, this isn't "Strome is nothing without Panarin" this is "Strome and Domi are only as good as who their linemates are"...
