Interesting update on Tyler Bertuzzi and Max Domi in Toronto

In the wake of the Maple Leafs' OT loss in Game 7 and another early elimination, there are plenty of fans wondering about the statuses of Max Domi and Tyler Bertuzzi.

The Leafs signed both players to a 1-year deal last summer with the intentions of seeing how each player would fit into the equation and whether or not a continued relationship beyond that one year mark was feasible for all sides. Both players are eligible to test free agency on July 1st as well.

Obviously, knowing just how valuable both players became to the team in the second half of the season, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if one or both were to extend in Toronto this summer. On Monday, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman revealed the latest information on both players. Unsurprisingly, he felt as though both players would be open to the idea of remaining in Toronto.

With Tyler Bertuzzi open to re-signing in Toronto, does Max Domi feel the same way?

Unlike Bertuzzi, Domi appears to enjoy the spotlight and being in Toronto. Not every player is built that way, but Domi appears to thrive on it. Friedman admitted on Monday that he would be shocked if Domi didn't want to extend the relationship with the Maple Leafs.


Obviously, what the players want, what the team wants and what they're all able to do are very different things. It's all going to come down to the dollars, the cents and the term. As Friedman alluded to, if both players are willing to play ball, the Leafs may end up bringing both of them back.
