It’s increasingly looking like Max Domi might be one of this off-season’s first trade Domi-noes to fall.
Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reported Monday that Domi, having just completed his second season as a Canadien, has fired his agent, Pat Brisson, and is potentially on the outs in Montreal as he becomes a restricted free agent this fall.
Cowan had this to say about the deteriorating bond between Domi and the Habs:
The relationship between Domi and Claude Julien hasn’t been great and it certainly didn’t improve after the Canadiens head coach put Domi on the fourth line during the postseason … With Phillip Danault, Nick Suzuki and Jesperi Kotkaniemi at centre, the Canadiens no longer appear to have a spot for Domi down the middle.
