The silence of the NHL -Offsean continues. There are still some remarkably limited free agents who still have to sign contracts, including Luke Hughes from the New Jersey DevilsMarco Rossi van de Minnesota Wild, and Mason Mctavish from the Anaheim Ducks.
There is a feeling that the longer this continues, The view will appear That McTavish is not a Pat Verbeek man. This was similar to Trevor Zegras before being traded this summer to the Philadelphia Flyers. Zegras, together with Jamie Drysdale, signed their Bridge Deals just before the season. There is a feeling that can be the case because McTavish is uncertain about his role in the system of Joel Quenneville.
But there is a lot of talk despite the lack of movement that Mason McTavish could be traded. Verbeek does not want to move him unless the price is good. If you remember, Verbeek believes that his duck team is a play -off team this year. But continuing to exchange young, talented players in favor of veterans may not be how the ducks go back to the play -offs. However, that is another subject for another day.
Ryan Dixon from Sportnet Looked at six potential destinations for Mason McTavish and whether or not these teams would fit for a player of his peers. Most scouts project McTavish to be a 2C, and half of the competition is looking for a 2C, so why would the ducks give him up?
NHL rumors: Pittsburgh Penguins and possible landing sports for Mason Mctavish
Before they look at the teams, they are all good fit, but which teams are the most logical and have the potential documents for a trade that actually happens?
Detroit Red Wings
The Detroit Red Wings are logical, such as Jimmy Murphy from RG Media Worked a few weeks ago, the relationship between Steve Yzerman and Pat Verbeek would play a role in a potential trade. Not to mention, the two clubs have just made a profession in which John Gibson went from Anaheim to Detroit. But what did Detroit want that Anaheim would like? Marco Kasper is a non-starter, just like Axel Sandin Pellikka. Detroit wants to find balance in their line -up, and Kasper can play center on line two or with Dylan Larkin on line one. Not to mention Sandin Pellikka is a future piece about the Blueline for Detroit and may be ready to play in the NHL next year.
Carolina Hurricanes
The Carolina Hurricanes are an interesting team because they need a second -line center to play with Nikolaj Ehlers. The hurricanes may have the documents to make a trade happen. GM Eric Tulsky could use someone like Seth Jarvis to get the deal. He is not afraid to move players. Take a look at what he did when he acquired Mikko Rantanen, and he changed that to Logan. Jarvis has no trade protection, which is why Jarvis, as Nhlrumors.com said, can be moved in a Nazem Kadri deal.
Does one of the trade destinations for Nazem Kadri logical?
Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames
These two teams have been merged because they are in the same division as the Anaheim ducks. The division prices are high, ask the New Jersey Devils when it comes to Rickard Rakell. The Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames both need 2Cs.
Both the flames and the Canucks want to go back to the play -offs, especially the Flames, who missed the play -offs with 96 points. Neither of them wants to be looking for several centers when they only need one. The Canucks are not going to move Tom Willander or Jonathan Lekkerimäki. Is there a schedule that would intrigue the ducks, along with a larger package to get McTavish?
Regarding the flames, could Rasmus Andersson be part of this trade with the ducks? Although Andersson has some trade protection and we know that Andersson wants to go to a winner, Craig Conroy will not give away for nothing. The Flames have taken over players to help them be competitive while moving to a new building. Both teams will have to pay through the nose to get McTavish.
Montreal Canadiens
The Montreal Canadiens Remained linked to Mason McTavish. The fit is for the Canadiens, but the package can be a high for Montreal to pay. Again, the expectations are higher for Montreal this season. Is a player like Kirby Dach part of this deal? It will not be David Reinbacher, that’s for sure. It all depends on what the ducks are looking for in exchange for McTavish. Montreal has the choices and prospects for a deal to happen, but if the ducks want to roast to help with their rebuilding and continuing their process, Montreal may not have the options they are looking for. Moreover, the Canadiens and Ducks had not spoken about MCTAVish from the beginning of July. That could have changed the past six weeks.
Is the rebuild finally over for the Montreal Canadiens?
Philadelphia Flyers
Again, another well -known trading partner for the ducks. Jamie Drydale was not only traded there for Cutter Gauthier, but also Trevor Zegras. The flyers are still rebuilding under GM Danny Briere. Mctavish is logical for them in the middle when they try to get younger. Sean Couturier is not the player he once was. Do the flyers even have the players, prospects and picks to make this deal?
Again, there are teams that are not mentioned and come out of nowhere that people do not see to exchange. The ducks do their best to sign Mason McTavish, but it will amount to how he will be viewed in the organization that will determine the length of the deal he signs.
Given the options, in the middle in Anaheim behind McTavish, Ryan Strome, the best to sign him in the long term and not to exchange him for a team that develops and plays him in the right place and makes him a threat on both sides of the ice.
