Overview
- The Maple Leafs have said Max Domi remains out indefinitely after complications from an offseason surgery and he is expected to miss training camp and the start of the regular season.
- The club has not disclosed the specific nature of the injury or procedure, and general manager John Chayka said Domi will be re-evaluated when the team reconvenes and will speak publicly at the right time.
- Insiders, most prominently Nick Alberga of Leafs Morning Take, have signaled limited optimism about Domi’s recovery and have raised the possibility that the injury could threaten his ability to play again, though that remains unconfirmed.
- Domi is under a four-year contract that carries a $3.75 million annual cap hit through 2027–28 and the Leafs are expected to consider placing him on long-term injured reserve to relieve that salary-cap charge once the season starts.
- Domi, 31, played through an undisclosed injury in 2025–26 and registered 12 goals and 36 points in 80 games, so his absence will affect Toronto’s lineup plans and is likely to shape the club’s early-season roster and cap moves until medical clarity arrives.
