Max Domi’s offseason took a turn for the worse.

The Maple Leafs announced the forward is out indefinitely following complications from offseason surgery.

Domi, who scored 12 goals and 36 points for Toronto in 80 games, played through an injury all season long, the team revealed.

“Domi will continue working with the club’s medical staff and will be re-evaluated at the start of training camp,” the Maple Leafs said in a statement.

The 31-year-old — son of famed NFL pugilist Tie Domi — has two seasons left on a four-year, $15 million deal he signed in 2024.

His status adds more questions to what’s been an offseason full of them for the Maple Leafs after a disappointing 32-36-14 finish that saw them miss the postseason for the first time since 2015-16.

That result saw the franchise move on from general manager Brad Treliving, with his successor John Chayka firing coach Craig Berube following his second season behind the bench.

Chayka’s hiring comes with questions about his past jobs — the Coyotes made him the youngest GM in NHL history at the age of 26 in 2016, beginning a tenure plagued by mixed trade success, a suspension for pursuing other jobs while under contract and hosting prospect for illegal draft workouts.

His shot at redemption in Toronto comes alongside franchise icon Mats Sundin, who was hired as a senior executive adviser.

One bit of good news for the Maple Leafs is that Chayka, Sundin and Co. were handed an early win in the lottery and getting the first-overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, which is set to take place on June 26.
