Mason McTavish<\/a>.<\/p>\nNo, the Montreal Canadiens ultimately did not submit an offer sheet for McTavish (at least not for now), but it’s not because young McTavish wasn’t open to that possibility.<\/p>\n
“Elliotte Friedman: I think that McTavish’s representatives looked for an offer sheet, didn’t happen; I really believe the whole thing with Gavin McKenna [first rounders required in offer sheet] has terrified teams from doing the offer sheet”<\/p>\n

If there hadn’t been a Gavin McKenna available in the first round of the 2026 draft, would an offer sheet have been made for Mason McTavish?<\/p>\n
We can’t say for certain, but it really seems like yes.<\/p>\n
Mason McTavish’s representatives looked for an offer sheet and the door was wide open for the Montreal Canadiens<\/p>\n
It’s not that the invitation wasn’t extended!<\/p>\n
The reality is simply that, even if a good season and a playoff appearance are expected for the Habs, the team is only 3-4 bad injuries away from a disaster.<\/p>\n
We really hope that doesn’t happen!<\/p>\n
But imagine if it did, and the Canadiens didn’t have their 2026 first-round pick.. It would be a true nightmare to lose a generational talent like Gavin McKenna.<\/p>\n
So it’s understandable that Kent Hughes didn’t do it (at least not for now).. A situation to keep an eye on!<\/p>\n
