This must be a joke. Do you really think the Habs wouldn’t offer up Max Domi for Laine?? Max Domi would be a throw-in in that deal

I didn't say it was a down year, I said he is inconsistent. He followed up an 18 goal November with 1 goal in December. That's about as inconsistent as it gets.

He's got the best one timer of anyone not named Ovechkin but that's the only thing he does well. He's not quick, he's not elusive, he has no notable hockey IQ, and is absolutely dismal in his own end. He lacks both the speed and enthusiasm that allow Ovi to drive plays and create chances.

He needs to be used in the right roll with the right complimentary players to have success. The Habs don't have what it would take for him not to be a disaster.

Inconsistent I do agree but anything else is not true.We are talking about a 21year old
but clearly is not any player who can do 3 season's of a ELC.With almost 120 goals
Personally I think he needs a different team or some sort of scenery change

10 goals in 20 playoff games for 19-21 year old isn't exactly a disappearing act. That's more goals than Domi got in his 2nd and 3rd nhl seasons.

But hey you're right. It's too bad they arent paying double digits for healthy reliable players that get them in the playoffs like Weber and Price. Matthew's being over 30 makes things look bad for the Leafs. Price and Weber on the other hand arent even their primes. Watch out when they are!

You're hitting hard today Sally. Love the sass!

Magine Domi in the playoffs.

Lolz

I don't care how many goals Domi had when he half aszed it for sh!tty Arizona teams. Domi is a better playmaker than Glasshews. Glasshews has never topped 36 assists and Mad Max has already eclipsed that in just his first year in Montreal.

Glasshews may have scored a few goals in the playoffs but he's not a leader, Bergeron has made him look like an utter fool in back to back years now. Completely shut him down.

Just wait until you see Domi in the playoffs then you'll grasp the difference.

Wow KomiSally! Domi is better than Matthews? I feel bad for the other Habs fans who post on here. They can't be happy that you're a Habs fan.

Please, continue!

Domi would be the main piece. Habs would have to add. But Domi is hardly a throw in.

I haven't yet figured out if KomiSally is trolling or if he's just dumb. I'm thinking he's both. Most Habs fans know their hockey. KomiSally must be the exception.

I would prefer Domi over Laine.

I like both players. But I take Laine all day.

You didn't read what I said wittle George Willy. Glasshews is the better goal scorer but outside of scoring he doesn't excel at much else. Domi is the better playmaker and his stats with inferior linemates support that claim. Glasshews 2-way game is terrible, everyone knows that. Domi prides himself in being a hardworking 2-way centre, Glasshews could careless about the defensive responsibilities of a centre. Does that mean Glasshews can't develop a 2-way game? no, but as of right now it's not something he has in his repertoire. Don't sit here all butthurt at me for stating your precious isn't a complete centre Babs could vouch for me.

Are you triggered again Sally? Or just tired from moving the goal posts again? How can Babs vouch for you when he doesn't know who you are? You're not important. Only in your delusional fantasy make believe land. 😂

How is trading Domi, a two way play making center, coming off great year for Laine, coming off a hohum year a good idea!? When Domi gets snakebitten, he can do many other things.. if Laine doesn't score, he pretty much a liability.

Domi put together a pretty decent rookie season. Followed it up with two seasons that were disappointing and progressively worse. Got dealt to Montreal and exceeded expectations to the tune of a really high end second liner / good first liner.

Wanna talk about inconsistency, that's the picture of it. This summer is either a sell high moment, or a sign of things to come. It's crazy to say either is the case. I'd wait another year until we start calling him Max Domi, first line centre though.

Matthew's is pretty good in his own end whether you concede it or not. Hes also better at face offs. But you keep thinking hes one dimensional and that Dummi is the better player. You go right on ahead with that.

You can talk about assists all you want but Matthew's only had 8 less than Dummi while playing 14 or so less games. So let's not pretend Domi and his 44 assists make him this great play maker and Matthew's one dimensional.

Good God George Willy you can't be this dumb. I am saying Babs has vented his frustrations with Glasshews inability to perform at the defensive side of the ice on numerous occasions, he would agree with the statement that he needs to improve his game away from the puck. That's what that means. I thought I watered that down enough for ya. Guess not.

Winnipeg isnt exactly in a good position to demand. They are over the barrel here. They have Connor and Laine to sign and if they both want the $$$$ Winnipeg doesnt have it to cover them both.

Sabres signed their 3 RFA's this week and are now over the cap. But also possibly preparing an offer sheet for a "prominent" RFA. Sources. Bedlam.

Leaving the shiiit show called the Coyotes and going to MTL/CHI did wonders for BOTH Domi and Strome! Maybe, just maybe, the players were inconsistent because the team that drafted them was inept!?

Guaranteed, both Strome and Domi continue to build on great seasons with their new teams

Yes but they arent desperate to unload these guys and if they were on the market alot of teams would line up to aquire them. They dont need to make a bad trade.

I'm not in favour of trading Domi for Laine. It would have to be Domi ++ for Laine and that makes it even worse. Laine would be a great get for the Habs but not at the expense of Domi + a top prospect and a top pick.

Besides Goal Caufield could potentially grow into a better sniper than Laine.

The players value diminishes if GMs know the team has to move the asset. That's not to say the Jets wouldn't get a hefty return still.
