"To be honest with you, as soon as you guys hired Luke Richardson as your head coach, I called my agent and said: 'Hey, I want to go to Chicago,'" Domi said. "I kind of got on the horn from there and spoke to them a little bit and right before free agency started, a deal was in place and was ready to go. I'm super happy to be in Chicago." Clearly Domi had fond memories of working for Richardson back when they were both part of the Montreal Canadiens. Domi had 28 goals and 72 points in 2018-19 while Richardson was one of his assistant coaches, so maybe the Blackhawks new bench boss can help Domi turn his career around.

Domi scored 11 goals and 39 points in 72 contests with Columbus in 2021-22, so he left plenty to be desired. That said, he's been fantastic in the past and there's at least a chance he'll bounce back. Certainly on a one-year deal it makes sense to roll the dice on him. It is a little weird that Chicago is the one to make that bet given that the Blackhawks are in a complete rebuild, but they still need to fill out the roster and Domi is a candidate to be traded for picks or prospects at the trade deadline if he does perform well.

Domi scored a pair of Game 7 goals in the opening series and picked up his third of the post-season on Monday as he has had a knack of scoring in the decisive game this season. Domi ends the post-season with three goals and six points in 14 games.
