If Guerin's open to trading back it's not outside the realm of possibility. I'm wary of Domi and how much his extension will cost, but he can play center. A lot would depend on what the Wild's draft list looks like.
Depending on the player... it's much less than 10%. Habs fans don't do us any favors either with their overreaction due to frustration. They laugh at Leafs fans when they overreact and don't realize they do the same.
The minute Domi is traded, the new team's fan base stops the devalue comments and actually looks at the context I have been saying.
I think FLA would regret that in long run.
Two different players. Leafs could certainly use Domi’s ability to play mean, and aggressive. Habs could use Nylander’s skill. It’s a very fair trade.
If Guerin/Brackett/etc. really like a guy that they think will be available at #16 and don't see a major gap between them and who's available at #9? Trading back to add a center while still getting one of "their guys" and hanging onto Brodin/Dumba would be a coup.
Even if they have to overpay something Bergevin won't do. The moment he would overpay for it the boards will be asking for his head.
Those are the facts, but the context surrounding those facts also matters...
Habs fans want you to rely on Domi's fluke season exclusively. They call him a minimum 55 point player, yet he has hit that total only once in his career and promptly fell back to his normal production this year.
It does feel a lot like the arguments around Zucker being a 25 goal, 50-55 point winger prior to going to Pittsburgh. Domi getting pushed down in the lineup isn't a great look, but it does happen.
