Toronto says forward Max Domi will be out indefinitely after complications following offseason surgery for an undisclosed issue, adding uncertainty as the 31-year-old is reevaluated at the start of training camp.
Toronto’s offseason plans took a sharp turn Monday when the Maple Leafs announced forward Max Domi will be out indefinitely after complications following surgery.
The team said Domi underwent offseason surgery for an undisclosed issue, but complications followed the procedure. Toronto did not specify the nature of the problem or the complications, only that he will remain sidelined on an open-ended timeline.
Domi, 31, had played through the injury during the 2025-26 season. The decision to keep going came with a price that’s now showing up during the recovery window.
Toronto said Domi will continue working with the team’s medical staff and will be reevaluated at the start of training camp. That date becomes the next marker for a player who has been a steady presence for the Maple Leafs and, last season, a measurable one in the points column.
In 80 regular-season games during 2025-26, Domi recorded 36 points—12 goals and 24 assists—and collected 95 penalty minutes. His absence lands at a moment when the Maple Leafs will be shaping their forward group for camp and the season ahead.
The stakes are amplified by what Toronto had already committed to. Domi signed a four-year, $15 million contract extension with the Maple Leafs in June 2024.
Domi’s career path spans multiple franchises and seasons. Selected 12th overall by the Phoenix Coyotes in the 2013 NHL draft. he has totaled 486 points—150 goals and 336 assists—in 815 career regular-season games across stops with Arizona. Montreal. Columbus. Carolina. Chicago. Dallas. and Toronto. Winnipeg-born, he’ll now have to navigate a recovery that began with a surgical procedure and turned complicated afterward.
The immediate question is how quickly, or whether, Domi can return to full strength. For now, the Maple Leafs are left with a clear message and an unclear timeline: training camp is coming, but Domi’s availability for it will depend on a reevaluation rather than a set return date.
