"I guess right now, in my head, I am looking at Domi and Maccelli. They are two guys who are great passers, right? They can pass the puck and make plays, and I think that's what the line needs, a guy to make a play ... Those two guys pop in my head right now as players I want to look at with Matthews and Knies,"
"But will it work? I don't know. I've got to see it. It takes a little time to form chemistry. Max does have some chemistry with Auston, obviously. They've played together at different points over the last couple of years,"
Craig Berube identified Max Domi and Matias Maccelli as the primary candidates to play on Auston Matthews’ right side alongside Matthew Knies. Both players are characterized as strong passers capable of setting up plays, which is the specific need for that top line. Berube emphasized the importance of chemistry and acknowledged uncertainty about immediate success, noting Domi’s existing chemistry with Matthews from prior pairings. Domi will miss the start of training camp with a lower-body injury, creating an early opportunity for Maccelli to demonstrate his offensive potential and stake a claim for the role.
