Several reports out of Montreal Monday indicate that Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin has begun negotiating a contract extension with 24-year-old Max Domi. However, other than that, Bergevin is staying tight-lipped about where negotiations are and what the terms might be.

Domi joined the Habs during the offseason in 2018 after a one-for-one trade with Arizona for Alex Galchenyuk. Domi went on to have a career year, scoring 28 goals and adding 44 assists for 72 points. Those were career highs for Domi across all three categories, and he also led the Canadiens in each individual field.
Domi, 24, will be a restricted free agent with arbitration rights at the end of the 2019-2020 season. When he was originally traded to Montreal, he immediately signed a two-year deal worth $3.15 million per season. Should he have another season like the last, it stands to reason that he's in line for a big raise.
