Host: “I think people in Montreal specifically wonder about Mason McTavish, who is still not signed.”
Dennis Bernstein: “Yes, well, you will have to pay that player, which probably $ 7 million. Well, in the first place he and it is not alone, you can’t offer a man, anyway? You have to have an agreement with him in a period or a contract.
NHL rumors: Anaheim Ducks are still working on signing Mason Mctavish
Now I get it. They exchanged Zegras, but say, if you look at those two players, who is more a Joel Quenneville -Type player, Trevor Zegras or Mason McTavish? It’s Mason McTavish, right? So, and this team, I think, was 30th in offense, right? You are going to exchange your 2C, rise Strome to 3C to 2C and you think you will get better offensive. I don’t understand. It’s done. He has no leverage and it can give him $ 5 or $ 6 million a year, a bridge contract, right?
So I don’t understand that, because where Anaheim is in their development, you wouldn’t trade that player. You would not exchange a young 2C. Moreover, I would like to see him under Quenneville for a year. Like, if it doesn’t work for him this year, and he doesn’t rise, because at the moment the number one center of the future is in Anaheim Leo Carlsson. Number two would be Mason McTavish. He would be a really solid, I think, number two center, probably for 10 or 12 years in this competition.
So yes. So while Habs can wish and hope and pray and dream that Mason McTavish can end up in Montreal in one way or another. I don’t see him releasing him in their development at the moment. ‘
Nhlrumors.com comment: As documented on nhlrumors.com, the Mason McTavish -Saga continues to run. Anaheim Duck GM Pat Verbek comes from the Steve Yzerman School of Giving Players Bridge Deals that come from entry level. The last two bridge offers Improved negotiated With Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale did not go well, and both players are now at the Philadelphia flyers.
NHL rumors: Will players such as Lane Hutson bet in themselves and take deals in the medium term?
However, as we have seen with offers in the past, other GMs around the competition do not want to do the work of Verbeek for him. So it remains a battle between MCTavish and Verbeek. But the longer this continues, the more worrying it is because they need Mctavish in the camp with Joel Quenneville who sets his system. While McTavish de Perfect fit for what the Montreal Canadiens are looking for, Hughes knows Want to give up the necessary assets to get it?
But if the ducks would exchange McTavish and potential Olen Zellweger, then the chatter of what Pat Verbeek does in Anaheim would pick up even more.
