Seattle Kraken: Early Free Agency Targets – Centers
Max Domi
This player would be very different than the previously mentioned options. He’s not a high-end faceoff guy, nor is he hovering around or above scoring at a point-per-game clip. Depending on team needs, he could also be moved over to winger, which wouldn’t be new to him. Max Domi has become a bit of a journeyman around the NHL.
Despite only being 26, Domi is on his third NHL team in seven years. None of these moves have been the player’s choice, however. When he joined the Columbus Blue Jackets, he talked about finding a home fairly regularly. That home may not be Columbus considering he’s rumored to once again be on the trade block.
If Columbus decides to move on from Domi, the Seattle Kraken would be a perfect fit for him in many ways. Although it’s just a rumor, word has circulated that Domi may want to go to a bigger market if he does leave.
Domi would fit in perfectly with Seattle, and the age of the team would give him the ability to make a lasting impact on the organization for years to come. He’s a player who brings energy every time he steps on the ice.
Even if he’s not putting up points on the scoreboard, he’s making a difference every shift. Domi can throw big hits, fight if necessary, and generally generate offense.
He won’t be a superstar more than likely, but Domi can certainly be an impact player if the Kraken bring him in. Not to mention, adding a player with a legendary hockey name never hurts when the team is establishing itself.
