One dimensional player. He's fine, but you gotta do better than that if you have 4 mill to spend.

I'm okay with signing Tanev, but I am not okay giving him that 5 years, but he's in the same tier as McCabe and Brodie (before falling off a cliff for us). Those are serviceable d-man for us. Tanev can move the puck well and is a warrior.

Tanev will be 35 when the playoffs start next year.
I think he goes to the team that gives him the most years.

Jets don't think he's NHL ready, and they've been scouting and monitoring him.
However, it could just be they have a better team so no easy entries.
Conspiracy theory ... he said he wants playing time in NHL from Jets ... because it is Winnipeg?
So for Leafs maybe he relaxes that stance, since he'd be in Toronto or Toronto?
23rd. overall and a prospect not in (Grebenkin, Cowan, Minten) .
Knies is not a prospect he's a NHLer.
If they want someone like Dewar, Gregor, Robertson fine.

Mikheyev is a bottom 6 player who was healthy-scratched in Vancouver. This is a chance for him to get more playing time in Chicago.
Marner has a lot more leverage.

I'm completely fine with a 4x4 for Domi. I'm tired of our team structure. We need a middle class. If you believe that teams are a microcosm of societies than a functional society needs a middle class!
Domi is extremely one dimensional
He passes, he won't score goals and he's untrustworthy defensively, he can play center in a pinch but it makes the entire line a defensive liability
He's not a player you want to be overpaying
I'd be tempted to wait on him and see what market develops around him before I did anything, I bet there isn't a ton of teams desperate to grab him

That's the bigger issue when deciding to sign Domi or move on. His style of play doesn't exactly fit what Toronto needs. On a team with depth he should be on your teams 3rd line, but as you said he's one dimensional whose not very good in his own end. Doesn't fit into to a 3rd line winger role. Toronto needs better then him to be riding shotgun on the 1st line.
That's why my sentiment is circling back to Domi in FA after checking out what's out there. I'd rather pay 4.5m 4.75m for someone like Toffoli and ride him in the top 6, then pay Domi his 4x4.

What do you think these other guys are going to sign for? 4 million is probably at the low end of what Domi should get.

I think Grebyonkin might be more ready, having been playing against men for a couple years.
Maybe trade 23rd. overall and Liljegren for Danila Yurov.
Perhaps we should float that over at the North Stars ... sorry Wild board?

If Domi is genuinely interested in a deal around 4x4 I'd wager that gets done. You pay a slight premium for anyone who can play centre, and we should have a 91+ mil cap by 2025. Need some consistency among the support players on the team
Also, interesting seeing Mike Grier be so busy.

Domi is not a luxury at all.
Do people still not understand our offense has been our biggest failure for years running?
Also if Marner is actually moved we need a playmaking winger capable of playing up the lineup even more.
Utah has soooooo many picks, lots of youth.
If you did picks/prospects/youth, you could sign Skjei for Mo money.
Slightly older, better two way game.
Not that I think it happens for a variety of reasons.
4x4 for Domi is perfectly fine as a complimentary piece
I love that Joshua contract for the Canucks. Even if you include the Mikheyev retention as part of him that's still decent

I call such bs. Why would anyone sign in Calgary right now?

I have to agree. He's a nostalgic phenomenon for fans. Ultimately, he's very average. His playmaking is ok, but he's not a shooting threat. His Defensive play is very poor. I wish him well if he finds a team who will offer him a lot more.

Maybe, but the thing with Grebyonkin that his role with a lot of preferential offensive treatment that he gets in Magnitogorsk isn't going to be there as a middle sixer on the Leafs and we don't know if he's really suited to it.
For me, he's best off being the "Nylander" of the Marlies next season
McGroarty seems at least stylistically more suited to be in that middle six role much the way Knies did.
Your wildly overvaluing him
He passes the puck and can punch guys sometimes, that's all he does
He doesn't score goals and every line he's on is significantly worse defensively
I'm not even sure the guys a net gain
Money and closer to home?
I'm fine with letting calgary overpay him. Debrusk isn't the guy most Leaf fans think he is

1) nobody has ever believed a team is a microcosm of society
2) we’ve had bottom 9 players at premium salaries for their role forever, they just sucked at their jobs. Kerfoot, Engvall, Kapanen, Johnsson, Marleau, Ritchie, Bert and Domi, Kampf, Reaves

IMO it would have to be something like Liljegren, our 2024 1st (or 2025 1st if its after the draft/July 1st), and Robertson for McGroarty + 2024 4th. Its a lot to give up, but its a strong gamble IMO. Lilly could be useful in their organization right now given their limited blueline depth, Robertson gives them a cheap young NHL ready player and PP2 shooter with upside, and the pick obviously means they can go after someone like a Beaudoin or an Emery or a Freij depending on what they want to focus their draft on. Alternatively, throw Minten into that package and remove one of Lilly or Robertson.
