Top 3 reasons the Capitals should trade for Max Domi

#2 His offensive numbers would explode

Domi needs a new situation for a boost in his numbers. He’s played on three teams so far in his career. His first stop was with the Arizona Coyotes where he scored 18 goals and 34 assists for 52 points in his rookie year. He followed that up with back to back nine goal seasons.

His second stop was with the Montreal Canadiens for two seasons. He broke out in 2018-19 with 28 goals and 44 assists for 82 points. His second season saw him score 17 goals and 27 assists for 44 points.

He joined the Blue Jackets last season. So far he’s scored nine goals in back to back years. If he came to a team like the Caps, expect those numbers to go up. Who wouldn’t want to play on a team with Alex Ovechkin?

Domi is in the final year of a two year, $10.6 million dollar contract with a $5.3 million cap hit. This may only be a rental or perhaps even a tryout for next season as he enters unrestricted free agency over the summer.

Domi could also give a boost to a power play that has struggled in the early goings but gotten better recently. With Calle Jarkrok off the table and my opinion of Claude Giroux not working out here, Domi would be the perfect fit among forwards.
