Report: Max Domi could help facilitate Maple Leafs trade

The Toronto Maple Leafs have not been getting the kind of offense that they were hoping from forward Max Domi, the son of beloved former Leafs icon Tie Domi, when he signed with them during the offseason.

Through the first 24 games of the season, he's lit the lamp a grand total of one time.

Could the Leafs be working on a trade to bring in additional reinforcements, and could Domi be part of a potential trade package? According to Luke Fox of Sportsnet, that could be on GM Brad Treliving's mind: 

"To be sure, the Maple Leafs' top trade priority is defence help, particularly on the right side.

Reading between the lines of comments made by coach Sheldon Keefe and GM Brad Treliving this week, Toronto would also like to upgrade its centre depth.

Max Domi has filled in admirably as a third-line pivot, but his trust defensively is iffy. Sense is, the Leafs would prefer a pure pivot and keep Domi as a middle-six utility player.

Three rental names to keep in mind: Anaheim's Adam Henrique, Montreal's Sean Monahan and Seattle's Alexander Wennberg.

The Ducks and Kraken would a) need to declare themselves sellers and b) retain salary for a hypothetical trade to work."

What kind of move could you see the Leafs brass making, and could it involve Domi?
