Mason McTavish is a character that seems to fit the group they have. Be a person from the perspective of age in the proper window. Where are the Duck and Mason McTavish? Can you help me understand why his name seems to appear in trade rumors as frequently as they do? My question is, why should the duck trade this guy? ”
Dave Pagnotta: “They don’t want to. They want to keep them. This is the goal from their side. But due to some changes made by the team, due to some increase by the team, the sign in early July is that the players don’t have to strengthen their game further in their game now, and strengthen their game further, and firmly strengthen their own solidity and to a certain extent.
And whether his character has been modified, it could be five to five, it could be a strong opportunity, it could be professional, like everything. So I think his rep has an exploratory phase to see where elsewhere he is free agent can choose.
Now restricted, the duck holds his rights. And it’s never been a feeling, even though I think there’s some discussion about the possibility of a quote, given Anaheim has a lot of blocking space, I don’t think the club has seriously considered this situation. They have the most space now. So, I think this used to be a serious threat.

But I do believe that back then and in recent July, I should say, recently, there were some discussions about the possibility with his camp: “Hey, what’s the chance here?” This is where we think we’re right. Let’s pursue trading. I think there is a discussion. I don’t think anything has been too serious so far. But yes, I mean, for a player like Mason McTavish, the team always asks as things go.
I mean, the manager’s job is to go out and see what’s available and see what opportunities may arise. Therefore, no stone spares no effort. But there was discussion, but at the same time, Anaheim wanted to stick with him. So unless they blow out of the water with a ridiculous offer, they will keep things going.
Now, we are different from what Hughes talks about. If these discussions continue to hit the wall, Anaheim will activate the trade model more seriously than in the past few weeks. But this is not the case where the ducks have been trying or seeking to get rid of Mason McTavish.
In terms of taking advantage of Anaheim’s opportunities, it’s more about the players and his representatives doing what they think is right. ”
