Overview
- The Maple Leafs announced that forward Max Domi had offseason surgery for a problem he played through and that complications from the procedure have left him out indefinitely.
- Local reporting by Steve Simmons in the Toronto Sun has alleged more serious, unconfirmed problems including a temporary inability to walk and that Domi chose his own surgeon.
- The team’s statement says Domi will continue working with club medical staff and be re-evaluated at the start of training camp, which the club and reporters expect to be the next key update.
- Domi is under contract for two more seasons at a $3.75 million annual cap hit, so an extended absence could force Toronto to consider roster moves or long‑term injured reserve.
- Beyond hockey availability, reporting raises concern about Domi’s short‑term recovery and daily mobility, and the situation remains developing because the more alarming details have not been confirmed by the club.
