3 players worth signing in free agency for the Capitals

#2 Max Domi

OK let’s try this again. I thought the Caps were going to 100 percent pursue Max Domi prior to the trade deadline last season. The Carolina Hurricanes were more aggressive and he ended up there but now the Caps have a chance to flex their wallets and snatch him this summer.

Domi had a total of 11 goals and 28 assists for 39 points. Nine of those were with the Columbus Blue Jackets prior to getting traded before he scored two in 19 games with the Hurricanes.

In the playoffs he had two goals and five assists for seven points as the Hurricanes beat the Boston Burins in the first round but fell to the New York Rangers in the second round.

With the Blue Jackets, Domi had a Corsi For percentage of 46.50 percent, a 45.73 percent Expected Goals For percentage and a 43.82 percent High Danger Chances For percentage.

His advanced stats went way up with the Hurricanes. He had a 61.70 percent Corsi For percentage, a 56.43 percent Expected Goals For percentage and a 53.41 percent High Danger Chances For percentage, per Natural Stat Trick.

Domi might be the top six spark plug to fill in for Tom Wilson’s absence. Although he does play left wing and not right wing.
