The Washington Capitals have recently been linked to Max Domi fo the Columbus Blue Jackets ahead of the trade deadline according to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman.
Here’s what he wrote about the Caps in his 32 Thoughts:
"Someone who might be on Washington’s radar: Columbus’ Max Domi. (Marek added Boston and Colorado could be also, which fits, too.) Although Vitek Vanecek has played very well, the Capitals continue to monitor the goaltending market. They needed a strong week — five out of six points in Canada, a win over the Islanders — to convince management they righted the ship. I could see a situation where Fleury wants to finish his career in Pittsburgh, another reason he’d be leery about joining the Capitals."
Here are 3 reasons why Domi belongs in D.C.
#3 He’d fit right in
The Caps have a perfect mix of veterans and youth. All season long with players battling injuries and COVID it’s been next man up. That will continue to be the case depending on the status of T.J. Oshie from last night’s injury.
Domi just turned 27 with his first season coming in 2015-16. So he’s been in the NHL for about seven seasons now. There’s something about players under 25 here not getting enough ice time but Domi wouldn’t have to worry about that.
