theo5789 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I wonder if Domi would be a buy low option to look at. A bit pricey at 5.3 million for next season for what he's showing right now, but perhaps it's just not the right setting for him. They acquired him for Josh Anderson, so perhaps they could look at someone like Virtanen as part of the return. He and Horvat are buddies from back to their London days, so I'd be curious what the asking price would be from Columbus and if it would be worth it. It would be a potential shot to the arm for the top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 has been a good character kid at times, I like the attitude he and Miller would bring on a line together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanucks25 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Problem is he's a skill/offensive first center and we already have EP and Bo to do that. What we desperately need is a top end bottom-6 C that you can rely on to not drown under tough minutes, and perhaps even put up some offense (not an easy player to find, but that is what we need).

He was traded because of character issues. Can’t speak to Arizona but Montreal traded him because of contract issues and the fact that Anderson became available. Bergevin had coveted Anderson for a long time. He’s struggling in Columbus under Torts. Not a surprise. A lot of players are, including Laine and previously PLD Also. Domi and Horvat are very close friends. Could be a good fit. id expect they’d want a much better player than Virtanen in return though. Domi’s best season was 72 points. Outlier or not, it still speaks to his skill and potential Edited March 13, 2021 by qwijibo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Would flippin Love to get Domi. No way Torts want's Virtanen. Not a chance. Me thinks any deal to get him involves Hoglander + so I would walk away. Edited March 13, 2021 by hammertime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree even though Domi would be a long-term fit on Horvat's wing although he has stated that he adamant about playing C. Honestly, if you're an NHL hockey player and you're getting paid like one you should play where the team wants you to play to give your team the best chance of winning. I think that Domi's attitude could be a problem although I hate to say it for a guy that has diabetes and plays through it like a chance. I'm not saying he isn't a character individual but at the same time sometimes you've got to swallow a pill to make the team better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Laughton UFA Canucks will have to pay him more to get him, but will stay be way less than Domi. Just a year older than Max and will likely get around $3.5-4m X5. Tough as nails, relentless, great defensive skill and solid offensive upside. Get er done Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a potential shot to the arm for the top 6. With Virtanen as the main piece of the deal? Like Virtanen + 2nd? I'd definitely think about it. Trade Pearson by the TDL for a 2nd rounder. Flip that pick and Virtanen for Domi would be a decent deal. Miller-Pettersson-Boeser Domi-Horvat-Hoglander Gives us strong scoring lines. Horvat line gets a playmaker in Domi and a puck hog in Hoglander. But I would visit this in the offseason if we can't find a better replacement for Pearson through trades/UFA. On the second thought, Virtanen would enter Torts' doghouse from day 1. I doubt CBJ wants Virtanen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While listed as a center, he seems more suited for the wing. He's about as good of a faceoff man as EP right now which is why Miller takes most of the draws on that line. Domi would pair well with Horvat and would be a good alternative to take a face off if Bo is waived out. I agree that a bottom 6 center is another need, but we could use some offense as well and we wouldn't need to re-sign Pearson in this case if all things work out. With that said, Jasek and even Lind has been playing center and have actually fared decently at the AHL level. In Jasek's case, when he was on loan in the Czech league, he started to flourish when moved to center. I think we may have some internal options.

J.I.A.H.N Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Sorry, but too many questions about him.........I have heard attitude problems I am more interested in Lawry or Laughton, as we have Podkolzin coming in to fill in on the top 2 lines Either one of these 2 guys fills a real need, and will come cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I've come to accept that Bo is a scoring line center with decent two way game and perhaps not a Selke level player that dominates both ends of the ice. Re-uniting Domi with Bo will only improve Bo and Domi's scoring rate. And Domi can throw a punch (re: Ekblad, although that was a bit of a sucker punch). We need a 3rd line center similar to Malholtra did for Kesler to free up Bo to focus more on scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
