Amid Trade Speculation, Max Domi Also Questions His Future With Maple Leafs

After signing a four-year extension with the Leafs last off-season, and a fresh start under a new head coach in Craig Berube, expectations were high for Max Domi.

Unfortunately, as he experienced in his first season with the Leafs, the 30-year-old struggled to not only produce offensively, but also develop a defined role. Being unable to find a role for himself wasn't entirely Domi's fault, given that he was shuffled from line-to-line and from wing to center and back again.

Finishing the season with 8 goals and 33 points, combined with another disappointing post-season performance from the Leafs as a team, led to speculation that the former first-round pick may be on his way out of Toronto earlier than anyone could have expected.

The day before free agency, Domi appeared on 'The Roz and Mocha Show' where he was asked about the post-season and his future with the Leafs in an interview that flew significantly under the radar this summer. Despite his enthusiasm in hoping he would remain with the Leafs, there was a bit of uncertainty in his answer.

It would appear as though the son of fan-favourite tough guy Tie Domi will be sticking around for another season as we are now a month away from training camp, and barring a major shakeup, Domi has an opportunity to slot in next to Auston Matthews on the Leafs' top line, where he had the majority of his success his first season in Toronto.
