Dave Pagnotta of the fourth period joined Dave McCarthy on Sirius XM NHL Network Radio last Friday and was asked where things were with Mason McTavish and the Anaheim Ducks and why a team like Anaheim would like to exchange a player like Mctavish.

Dave McCarthy: “What about Mason Mctavish, Dave? It surprises me that his name has surfaced in trade rumors as it seems to have surfaced. Like, I am now looking at that duck team, and I now see a perfect fit for Mason Mctavish there. Just seems to work with the play.

And Mason McTavish is a man whose role seems to fit in the group they have. Is a man who is from the age of age, in the right window. Where are the ducks at Mason McTavish? And can you help me understand why his name seems to appear in trade rumors as often as they are? My question is, why would the ducks want to exchange this guy? “
Dave Pagnotta: “Ze willen het niet. Ze willen ze houden. Dat is het doel van hun kant van de dingen. Maar vanwege enkele van de veranderingen die het team heeft aangebracht, vanwege enkele toevoegingen die het team heeft gedaan, was de indicatie begin juli dat er bezorgdheid was van de spelerszijde. De kansen zijn er nu niet noodzakelijkerwijs voor hem te ontwikkelen zijn spel, en zijn game van zijn spel, en zijn game van zijn game, en zijn game van zijn game, en zijn Game of his game, and they started, and his game of his game, and they started, and they have been solidified as the 2C in an Aheim.
And whether his role is being adjusted, and that can be five-on-five, that could be a chance of power play, that could be the specialty, like everything. So I think there was an exploratory phase of his representation, to see which options can be available elsewhere, since he is a free agent.
Now it is limited and the ducks have its rights. And there was never a feeling, and although I think there were some discussions about the possibility of offering sheets, I don’t think that was once that the clubs seriously considered, given that Anaheim has a boot load of cap space. They now have the most space. So I don’t think that was once a serious threat.

But I do believe that it was then and recently with people in the competition and recently, in July, I should say, and recently, yes, there were some discussions with his camp about the possibility of: “Hey, what are the opportunities here?” Here we think we fit. And let’s pursue a profession. I think there were discussions. I don’t think there has been a little too serious so far. But yes, there is, I mean, for a player like Mason McTavish, look as the things progress, teams always ask.
I mean, the task of the manager is to go outside and see what is available and see what opportunities appear. So no stone remained untouched. But there have been discussions, but at the same time Anaheim wants to hold him. So, unless they are blown out of the water with a ridiculous offer, they will maintain things.
Now a bit different than what we were talking about with Hughes. If these discussions continue to hit the wall, Anaheim activates the trade mode a little more seriously than they have in recent weeks. But this is not a scenario in which the ducks have tried or are looking to lose or exchange Mason McTavish.
This has been the player more and his representatives do what they think he is good for him in terms of using the opportunity in Anaheim. “
