NHL rumors: Not much movement in the Mason Mctavish talks to the Anaheim Ducks
Earlier in the morning, Lebrun tweeted that there was no movement on both sides, as the status quo remained, but he emphasized that things could change with one call.
Status quo on the Mason McTavish front. Still slowly go there. As we always say, you can change with one phone call. But at the moment it is not there.

Everything needed with Mactavish was a phone call
That one phone call came and the two parties could reach an agreement. As documentedMason Mctavish and his camp are looking for a long -term (seven to eight years) deal on an AAV of $ 7 million. In the meantime, Ducks GM Pat Verbeek was looking for a little shorter deal in that mid-range (four to five years) deal in the reach of $ 6 million of an AAV.
There was giving and taking from both parties. The MCTavish camp came on the term, while Verbeek and the ducks went up in dollar amount. There was a good chance that this could have taken a long time if something was not done on Saturday.
And just like MCTavish and the Ducks close a deal.
They correspond to a six -year -old deal for $ 7 million AAV.
This had to be done to get the player to the camp.
As always, things change with one phone. Team went to player AAV. Player goes to team term. #Flytogether https://t.co/mnhiiaxsa9

NHL rumors: Anaheim Ducks want to keep Mason McTavish
Verbeek had been unclear that he did not exchange Mctavish. They saw him as part of the future in Anaheim. However, McTavish was not sure what his role would be and needed certainty from the team that he would be the first or second line center. Now he has it with this contract.
“Mason is an important part of our team and we are pleased to reach a long -term agreement that reflects its interest in our future,” Said Ducks General Manager Pat Verbek in a statement on Saturday. “He is a very competent, physical and competitive player who plays the game in the right way. Mason has had a significant impact at a young age and we are convinced that he will continue to grow into a top player as we build on sustainable success.”
Moreover, despite the threat of an offering magazine, teams were not willing to do Pat Verbeek’s task for him. Suppose a MCTavish team would offer more than $ 7 million per season, the ducks would match that because they had the cap space to match it. Not to mention the fact that teams would not give up unprotected first picks with the idea of drawing up Gavin McKenna in 2026.
NHL rumors: How does the contract effect of Marco Rossi Mason McTavish negotiations
Mctavish now gets some Troy Terry and Mikael Granlund with the Anaheim Ducks.
Mason Mctavish ends the RFA drama with a new 6-year deal with the @Ananheimducks Annually worth $ 7 million, matching the cap hits for Troy Terry and Mikael Granlund as the highest under ducks.

More Mason Mactavish comparable
So what does it say for all about a rising cap and players who got more percentage of the cap, that MCTavish took less than some of his colleagues who were part of the same concept class?
The new $ 7 AAV from Mason Mctavish is lower than the second contracts signed by Buffalo defender Owen Power ($ 8.35 million, in 2023) and Seattle Forward Matty Beniers ($ 7,142.857, in 2024), which were notified for MCTAVish in the 2021 –

NHL rumors: The Anaheim Ducks are not crazy about a Mason McTavish Bridge -Deal
In 229 career NHL games, MCTavish recorded 140 points (60 goals and 80 assists). Moreover, during the 2024-25 career heights he set out points (52), Doelen (22) and Assists (30). He only gets better with every passing year.
An honest gamble on Mason McTavish. Can really be a good deal if he ever comes out defensively. Max Domi is the effort to notice one of his current Top Comps. pic.twitter.com/oiybdmebqw

So the ducks knew how important it was to get him in a training camp with the new head coach, Joel Quenneville, who would teach new systems. The longer this impasse lasted, the more it would harm both the player and the team. Remember that Verbeek has high expectations for the team this season.
With Mason McTavish now from the board, attention focuses on Luke Hughes of the New Jersey Devils and Luke Evangelista as the last two left -wing RFAs.
