The Toronto Maple Leafs announced on Monday that Max Domi is dealing with complications from offseason surgery and is out indefinitely. The club said he will be reevaluated at the start of training camp and will "continue to work with the club’s medical staff."
Domi, 31, had surgery this summer to address an issue he played through during the 2024-25 season. He finished that campaign with 36 points in 80 games — 12 goals and 24 assists — and arrives at training camp with two seasons remaining on a four-year, $15 million contract he signed with Toronto on July 1, 2024.
Those numbers are part of a longer career that includes 486 points in 815 regular-season games, with 150 goals and 336 assists. Domi was selected 12th overall in the 2013 NHL Draft and has played for the Arizona Coyotes, Montreal Canadiens, Columbus Blue Jackets, Carolina Hurricanes, Chicago Blackhawks, Dallas Stars and the Maple Leafs since entering the league.
The announcement provides only a narrow set of facts. The team did not offer additional details about the nature of the surgery or the specific complications, and it is silent on any projected timetable beyond the planned reevaluation at camp. For now, max domi is out indefinitely while he "continue[s] to work with the club’s medical staff," according to the organization.
The immediate consequence is practical: Toronto will begin training camp with an open question about the availability of a veteran winger who produced 36 points last season and is owed $3.75 million per season through the 2027-28 campaign. The reevaluation scheduled for the start of camp is the next concrete step the club has set; until then, the Leafs and their medical staff will be managing the recovery without further public guidance.
For Domi, the announcement interrupts what is officially his third season with Toronto and leaves his readiness for the regular season unresolved. His career totals and the length of his contract underline why the team’s brief statement matters now: a player with 486 career points and two years left on a four-year deal will be examined again at camp to determine whether he can return to the lineup.
How the situation unfolds at training camp will decide whether Toronto begins the season without a regular contributor from last year. The club has set the date to reassess, and until that moment Domi’s status — and the roster choices that depend on it — will remain unsettled.
