Leafs re-sign Domi to 4-year, $15M deal

Warning: Video contains coarse language

Max Domi is staying home.

The Toronto Maple Leafs re-signed the pending unrestricted free-agent forward to a four-year contract with a $3.75-million cap hit, the team confirmed Sunday.

Domi took to X to announce he's staying in humorous fashion.

The contract provides Domi some much-needed security after he's bounced around between seven teams during his nine-year NHL career.

Domi produced nine goals and 38 assists in 80 games during his first season with the Maple Leafs, endearing himself to fans for his willingness to drop the gloves and stand up for his teammates.

The 29-year-old was a versatile piece for the Leafs, serving as both a third-line center and a top-six winger at times. He was a particularly efficient playmaker, finishing second in the NHL behind Connor McDavid in assists per 60 minutes among players with at least 500 minutes at five-on-five, per Natural Stat Trick.

However, Domi's defensive issues, which have plagued him for much of his career, didn't improve in Toronto. He posted 16.1 offensive goals above replacement but minus-3.5 defensive goals above replacement, per Evolving-Hockey.

His most productive season came in 2018-19 with the Montreal Canadiens when he tallied career highs in goals (28), assists (44), and points (72). Domi has failed to surpass 56 points in a season since then.

Domi grew up in Toronto while his father, Tie, was playing for the Leafs. The elder Domi was a fan favorite as an enforcer during his 12 years with the franchise.
