As negotiations progress, fans and analysts alike will keenly watch how Domi's valuation translates into a finalized deal, potentially setting a precedent for future contracts within the franchise.
His prior contract, also managed by Treliving, was set at a $3 million annual average value (AAV), but current discussions suggest a substantial increase, potentially placing his next AAV between $5 to $6 million.

Domi's impactful performance, featuring 47 points across 80 games with a mix of 9 goals and 38 assists, not only marked his prowess but also solidified his position as a central figure in the team's strategy.
