\t\t\t\t\tThe excellent journalist James Murphy has just reported an interesting development regarding forward Mason McTavish<\/a> and the Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n

In fact, there are reportedly three teams more seriously involved in this matter.<\/p>\n

James Murphy: Re Mason McTavish: The Red Wings “are one team showing serious interest”; with the Canadiens and Hurricanes also “keeping tabs” on him<\/p>\n

Things could start moving again soon.<\/p>\n

If the Ducks do end up trading their excellent young center, it will likely come down to the Detroit Red Wings, the Montreal Canadiens, and the Carolina Hurricanes.<\/p>\n

Three teams officially named in the Mason McTavish sweepstakes<\/p>\n

I’m very happy to see the Montreal Canadiens’ name on this list.<\/p>\n

Mason McTavish, age 22, is a well-rounded center standing 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 220 pounds. He was the 3rd overall pick by the Anaheim Ducks in 2021 (first round).<\/p>\n

He has recorded 140 points in 229 career NHL games, including 60 goals, and he posted 52 points in 76 games during the 2024-2025 season – playing on the third line and with little power-play time.<\/p>\n

He would be absolutely ideal as a second-line center for the Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n

It may seem far off, but a certain Sebastian Aho<\/a> also started his NHL career as a winger.<\/p>\n

Would you trade Kirby Dach and two top-5 protected first-round picks for Mason McTavish?<\/p>\n
