Max Domi signs with father's old team, joining exclusive list

While the father's side of the list features several heavy hitters like Hall of Famers King Clancy, Charlie Conacher and Babe Pratt, John Cullen is the leading point-scorer among sons, with 77 as a Maple Leaf. With a strong season, Max could help him and his father climb high atop the father/son leader board.

Though, to overtake the leaders, Domi would likely need more than one season in Maple Leafs blue to do it. Conacher and his son Pete hold the distinction for the most points by a father/son duo in Toronto history, with 325, even though the former tallied all but one of them. That puts Tie and Max only 129 points behind. 

Domi reportedly agreed to a deal worth $3 million for the 2023-24 season. The 12th overall selection in the 2013 NHL Draft by the then-Phoenix Coyotes, Domi had his best campaign in years last season, splitting time with the Chicago Blackhawks and Dallas Stars. Domi tallied 52 points (20 goals, 36 assists) in 80 games, his highest tally since posting 72 points (28 goals, 44 assists) in 2019-19. 

Playing with the same grit as his father – with a bit more of a scoring touch – Domi should fit in nicely in Toronto, where he'll likely receive a hero's welcome.
