Max Domi signed a four-year, $15 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday. It has an average annual value of $3.75 million.
The 29-year-old forward, who could have become an unrestricted free agent Monday, had 47 points (nine goals, 38 assists) in 80 regular-season games for Toronto this season and four points (one goal, three assists) in seven Stanley Cup Playoff games.
Selected by the Phoenix Coyotes in the first round (No. 12) of the 2013 NHL Draft, Domi has 417 points (130 goals, 287 assists) in 661 regular-season games for the Maple Leafs, Dallas Stars, Chicago Blackhawks, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Montreal Canadiens and Coyotes and 26 points (seven goals, 19 assists) in 50 playoff games.
"It's great,” Domi said Monday. It's a blessing in disguise that I've had lots of opportunities to play around the League and play with lots of great teammates and learn from a lot of awesome coaches so you gain a lot of experience that way, which is very valuable. Part of me bouncing around was me always trying to end up here and [I] was lucky enough to get the opportunity last year.
“I had a great time, enjoyed every second of last year. [It] didn't end the way we wanted it to, but I was hoping to put my feet on the ground and stick around for a while so I appreciate the organization and everyone involved giving me the opportunity."
Earlier in the day, the Maple Leafs signed defenseman Timothy Liljegren a two-year, $6 million contract ($3 million AAV).
