Max Domi is not the best player on the Arizona Coyotes roster. Not yet, anyway.
That accolade goes to defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson, who picked up the 2015-16 team MVP trophy in the festivities prior to the game on Saturday night.
It’s not beyond the realm of possibility for Domi to achieve that title someday. Someday soon, perhaps. For now, it would be hard to argue that anyone not wearing #16 is the clear number two on the Coyotes’ roster.
He provides a spark offensively each and every night, he fights and takes no guff, and now he’s sporting 51 points in his inaugural season in the National Hockey League.
