Of course adding McTavish, the third-overall pick in the 2021 draft, will be very hard: he&#8217;s a highly-regarded player with huge upside and will cost a big price in trade, perhaps more than the Canucks can afford.&#8221; Johnston said.<\/p>\n<p>With training camps across the National Hockey League in roughly five weeks, McTavish remains unsigned and at some point soon, the Anaheim Ducks are going to need to make a big decision &#8211; sign him or trade him.<\/p>\n<p>Big update given on potential Vancouver Canucks trade target Mason McTavish<\/p>\n<p>Following <a href=\"https:\/\/rg.org\/news\/hockey\/source-yzerman-verbeek-relationship-could-help-red-wings-land-mctavish\" class=\"lien_marqueur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">last week&#8217;s report from Jimmy Murphy of RG.org<\/a> where a source told him the starting point of a package for Mason McTavish would be a young, right-shot defenseman with top pairing potential, Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff gave an update on the 22-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent mailbag article for Daily Faceoff, Di Marco was asked if he thinks the Ducks will move on from McTavish before training camp begins and he said that he can&#8217;t see a scenario where the centerman is traded by Anaheim, adding that his best guess would be a bridge deal gets signed in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think the Ducks will move McTavish, especially considering the fact that they moved on from Zegras in large part to the former&#8217;s long-term role with the club. My best guess is that a bridge deal ultimately gets done, but Verbeek would be best served to make sure things don&#8217;t go sideways to the point where the player&#8217;s long term future with the club could come into question.&#8221; Di Marco said.<\/p>\n<p>Given the potential cost to acquire Mason McTavish and the fact that the Anaheim Ducks don&#8217;t necessarily want to move on from him unless they&#8217;re forced to, it seems like the odds of him landing Vancouver are almost slim-to-none.<\/p>\n<p>If that&#8217;s the case, then Patrik Allvin will need to reevaluate his options in the weeks ahead and perhaps consider upping the team&#8217;s offer to current unrestricted free agent Jack Roslovic.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on CanucksDaily<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tCANUCKSDAILY.COM<br \/>COPYRIGHT @2025 &#8211; ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canucksdaily.com\/terms\" class=\"lediv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TERMS<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canucksdaily.com\/politic\" class=\"lediv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">POLICIES<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":61049,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,9111,39833,39832,448,82,452,4669,25176],"class_list":["post-61048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mason-mctavish","tag-mason-mctavish-canucks","tag-mason-mctavish-update","tag-nhl","tag-sports","tag-vancouver-canucks","tag-vancouver-canucks-news","tag-vancouver-canucks-trade-rumors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61048"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61048\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
