CBJ sign center Max Domi to two-year contract

The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed recently acquired center Max Domi to a two-year, $10.6 million contract through the 2021-22 National Hockey League season, club General Manager and Alternate Governor Jarmo Kekalainen announced today. Domi will earn $4.6 million in the first year and $6.0 million in the second of the deal.
Domi, a restricted free agent, was acquired along with a 2020 third round pick, 78th overall (Samuel Knazko), in the 2020 NHL Draft, from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for forward Josh Anderson on Tuesday. The 25-year-old has registered 81 goals and 170 assists for 251 points with 300 penalty minutes and a +4 plus/minus rating in 375 career NHL games with Montreal and the Arizona Coyotes. Last season, he notched 17-27-44 and 35 PIM in 71 outings with the Canadiens, ranking third on the club in goals and points. In 2018-19, he collected a career-high 28-44-72 with 80 PIM and a +20 plus/minus rating in 82 games to lead Montreal in assists and points.
"We are very pleased to have reached an agreement with Max this quickly as it was important to all of us that our focus be on the upcoming season and winning hockey games," said Kekalainen. "As I have said, we expect Max to be a great fit with our group. He is the type of player and person that personifies Blue Jackets hockey and we believe he is going to be an important part of our group moving forward."
