Summary
Max Domi’s post-surgical complications could sideline him indefinitely, forcing the Leafs into a tricky contract management decision as training camp nears. The team might place him on LTIR — a move that could wipe his $3.75M cap hit — echoing past Toronto lore known as “Robidas Island,” where underperforming high-salary players lingered. While the league now tightly regulates LTIR to prevent cap manipulation, Domi’s legitimate injury could make it a viable option, letting the Leafs avoid trade or waiver drama — though they’ll likely wait until next season to see if he’s ready to return.
