Max Domi joins the Maple Leafs on a one-year contract
The Toronto Maple Leafs made a significant signing as they secured winger Max Domi for a one-year contract worth $3 million.
For Domi, the upcoming 2023-24 season will mark his ninth year in the league, and he will be representing his seventh team. Last season, he split his time between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Dallas Stars, achieving a total of 56 points (20 goals and 36 assists) along with 82 penalty minutes in 80 games.
On March 2, the Blackhawks traded Domi to the Stars. Having played 581 games, the 28-year-old Domi has accumulated an impressive record of 370 points (121 goals and 249 assists) since his debut with the Arizona Coyotes in 2015. He was initially selected as the 12th overall pick by the Coyotes in the 2013 NHL draft.
Notably, Max Domi comes from a hockey family, as his father, Tie Domi, is well-known for his time as an enforcer with the Maple Leafs and holds the franchise record for the most penalty minutes with 2,265.
In an interview with reporters, after his contract with the Leafs was officially announced, Max spoke passionately about his dream of winning a Stanley Cup and honoring his father's legacy in the process. He emphasized that winning the prestigious trophy would mean everything to him, especially considering his father's career didn't culminate in a Stanley Cup victory.
