Friedman believes the Penguins will do whatever it takes to maximize the Cup window of the Crosby/Malkin era.īefore switching topics, Friedman dropped one last line that may give Penguins fans something to chew on, ““Nothing that they do this year – aside from trading Crosby or Malkin or Matt Murray – would surprise me.” One point Friedman was very adamant about throughout the segment was the Penguins desire to make changes this offseason and remain all in to take another run at the Stanley Cup. “One of the things I heard just around the Cup Final is that I think the Penguins have interest in him.” Trading Conor Sheary of Carl Hagelin should open up more than enough space to fit Domi and his new contract under the cap. We have already discussed here on the site some names the Penguins could move during the offseason so the pieces are there if Rutherford decides to pull the trigger. Jim Rutherford is keen on re-tooling the roster and said as much during his final press conference of the season. Many believe Domi still has terrific upside but perhaps that upside will be best realized with a change of scenery. “The thing that really intrigues me about it is Mario Lemieux and Tie Domi are tight,” said Friedman although he followed that remark up by stating he does not believe that is a driving factor behind any potential trade, just that the Penguins appear to have serious interest.Īt the moment, this is all rumor and no one knows for certain how serious the Penguins interest is in Domi or if the Coyotes have any plans on moving the young forward at all. Domi played all 82 games this past season but only recorded nine goals and 36 assists, meaning the Penguins could be buying low on a player many believe still has a high ceiling.Īnother thing to keep in mind that was discussed by Friedman was Mario Lemieux’s close relationship with Max’s father Tie Domi, who is often seen with Lemieux at PPG Paints Arena during Pens games. At only 23, Domi is still young and can continue to develop his game.
