Since the start of the current series, Max Domi has been talking about him a lot. Between his uncertain presence due to his diabetes, his lack of playing time, his promotion to the wing of Kotkaniemi and his poor performance in last night’s game, the 25-year-old striker has had a very eventful series.
We feel that he is not really in the plans of the Habs for the next few years, especially since the emergence of Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Nick Suzuki. At least it is not among the cornerstones of Marc Bergevin’s plan for the future.
Domi is a free agent at the end of this season and if his salary demands are too high for Bergevin’s liking, the former Coyotes pick could end up in a different place.
One team that could however be very interested in Domi’s services is the Minnesota Wild.
Examining the Wild’s options: Where, oh where can they find that No. 1 center? https://t.co/LYjV3hNXtL

The Wild are looking for a top center to play with Kevin Fiala, one of the NHL’s revelations of the year. Domi might be an option to consider.
Bill Guerin, the Wild’s general manager, should probably be able to find the money to meet Domi’s demands, as Mikko Koivu’s heavy contract also ends at the end of the current season and several big chunks of the Wild have contracts. inexpensive.
Guerin also seems to have been very interested in Domi for a few months now, when quite serious rumors sent the striker to the Wild before the trade deadline.
I had the information today, confirmed by 3 sources that at the time of the suspension of the season in March, there were serious talks between MTL and MIN for Max Domi, the Wild’s offer to that moment was a defender and a choice, I have no name.

Moreover, Alex Galchenyuk’s contract also ends after the conclusion of the present series. If the Wild grant Galchenyuk another contract and draw Domi into their organization, the two pieces of the infamous exchange could become teammates.
Can Domi be a first center in the NHL? Maybe, although I think he’s more of a second center for a very competitive team. However, if the Wild are desperate, taking a chance on the fiery striker could pay off for them.

This is great. Each one is good for different reasons. Gasol’s son is my fav. His “Just in case you forgot my dad’s name” delivery is awesome. Lowry’s reaction is so pure. pic.twitter.com/I983so89Uk
