I would be so thrilled if somehow Mats could overlook his friendship with Domi and get his kid out of town, with Maccelli in tow.

With the current cap at $104MM why are we getting rid of Domi? Won't it cost more to replace him with an equal player in FA?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Because he's terrible.

But also, we're not getting rid of Domi anymore.

they give it… a 10% chance he stays.

Matthews is going to want to stay after he gets to play with good Marner.

the hope would be an upgrade. we need a real 3C and we've got younger options for the wings like maccelli and robertson .

 

[CH1]

Tavares is your 3c

 

[zeke]

30gl/70pt 3C!

Tavares ranked 16th in goals and 19th in points amongst NHL centers this year.

He scores 30 and had 70 pts. Let’s not pretend he wasn’t a good second line centre. Could drop off at his age. But he didn’t last year.
