Domi, his teammates' chief bodyguard on the ice, has agreed to a two-year, $2.5-million US contract with the team with which he's spent the last nine full seasons of his 14-year NHL career, a source confirms.

The 35-year-old right-winger is third on the league's all-time penalty minutes list with 3,406. He trails only Dave (Tiger) Williams (3,966) and Dale Hunter (3,565).

Domi turned down a more lucrative offer from another team — three years for $4.5 million US — to stay with the Leafs, the source added.

Domi has scored 99 goals and assisted on 130 in 943 games. The five-foot-10, 215-pound native of Windsor, Ont., spent a little over two years with both the New York Rangers and the Winnipeg Jets before returning to the team that drafted him and broke into the NHL with in 1995.

He had a career-high 29 points in 2002-2003. In his last season, 2003-2004, he had seven goals and 13 assists.
