The Toronto Maple Leafs are facing offensive challenges with former Chicago Blackhawks forward Max Domi.

Since joining the Leafs during the offseason, Domi, the son of beloved former Leafs icon Tie Domi, has struggled to make a significant impact on the scoreboard.

In the first 24 games of the season, Domi has only managed to score once, falling short of the offensive expectations set for him by the Leafs.

Now, rumors are swirling about potential trade discussions, and Domi's name is emerging as a possible sacrifice.

According to Luke Fox of Sportsnet, GM Brad Treliving might be considering a move:

"The Maple Leafs' top trade priority is defense 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 center 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."

Fox suggests three potential rental options: Adam Henrique from Anaheim, Sean Monahan from Montreal, and Alexander Wennberg from Seattle. However, for a trade to work, the Ducks and Kraken would need to declare themselves sellers and retain salary.

The big question now is, will Max Domi be sacrificed by the Maple Leafs in their quest for offensive improvements? Stay tuned as trade speculations continue to circulate.
