Exchanging Mason MCTAVISH would not be the option envisaged among the Ducks of Anaheim, according to journalist Eric Stevens of The Athletic.
The Ducks want to extend the contract of the autonomous player with compensation of 22 years. Stevens mentions that the team finds it that it is a centerpiece in the alignment of the team.
“You have surely read items on teams that need a No. 2 center and that would be a potential destination in MCTAVISH. Do you know who needs a No. 2 center? Anaheim, ”replied the journalist who answered Internet users through an article.
MCTAVISH had its best season in terms of points last season with 22 goals and 52 points. He raised 40 points with a digital equality and he obtained 38 minutes of penalty – a drop of 48 minutes compared to the previous year.
“I cannot place myself in the head of the director general Pat Verbeek, but I do not think he thought that Trevor Zegras or Jaime Drysdale were going to be key players in their training in the future,” he explains. I think, however, that he sees this role in MCTAVISH. »»
At the center position, the Ducks count on Leo Carlsson, Ryan Strome, Mikael Granlund and Ryan Poehling in addition to MCTAVISH.
Anaheim knew herself aware of the summer with their goalkeeper Lukas Dostal to avoid arbitration.
The Ducks went to pick up the veteran Chris Kreider from the New York Rangers in return from Carey Terance and a choice for the draft.
