Insider David Pagnotta revealed some very interesting information about Mason McTavish, a name often linked to the Montreal Canadiens.
“According to league sources, McTavish is willing to sign a long-term deal, in the seven-to-eight-year range worth in the neighbourhood of $7 million to $8 million per season.” – David Pagnotta
However, the Ducks refuse to give him that much (which is really strange) and are instead offering him $5.5 million per season.
Would the Montreal Canadiens be willing to pay that price to acquire Mason McTavish?
Since the Ducks don’t want to go higher than $5.5 million, could an offer sheet of eight or nine million per year actually work?
It would cost the Canadiens:
– 1 first-round pick
– 1 second-round pick
– 1 third-round pick
as compensation if the Ducks didn’t match such an offer sheet (from $7.02 to $9.36 million per year).
I’d be willing to give McTavish 9 million per year to bring him to Montreal, knowing that the salary cap will almost double in the coming years.
I understand it’s risky to give up an unprotected 2026 first-round pick because of a certain Gavin McKenna, but I don’t see how the Habs could finish among the NHL’s three worst teams this season-especially with McTavish, especially with Noah Dobson, and also with Ivan Demidov for a full season.
And you-what’s your opinion on all this?
It’s really strange that McTavish still isn’t signed, despite his very reasonable demands.
