When Mason McTavish was left out of the playoffs, there was talk that the Canadiens<\/a> needed to be brought back<\/a> into the conversation.<\/p>\n

And ever since then, that’s exactly what’s been happening: the Montreal Canadiens’ name has been popping up left and right in connection with the Ducks’ center.<\/p>\n

That’s only natural, of course: he fits the bill for what the club is looking for.<\/p>\n

Because the Ducks have had disputes (contractual, notably) with the player and a salary might need to be cleared to make room, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the center leave.<\/p>\n

And since he’s making seven million dollars a year through 2031, he’s an attractive prospect on the market. And that’s despite his 2025\u20132026 season being a bit of a struggle.<\/p>\n

We know that many teams will be interested in him, of course. The Bruins and the Blues<\/a> are notably organizations to watch in this regard.<\/p>\n

But the Habs’ interest is very real.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Murphy, who has connections in the NHL, mentions that several sources have confirmed to him that the Canadiens have reached out to the Ducks regarding McTavish.<\/p>\n

He discussed this on the<\/a> Sick Podcast website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Right now, the Canadiens and the Ducks aren’t necessarily exchanging names. It’s mostly a step to remind everyone that the Habs want to stay in the mix.<\/p>\n

It’s the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

But according to a source, if a trade were to happen, Michael Hage would be at the heart of Pat Verbeek’s demands. No one’s surprised to read that, are they?<\/p>\n

We’ll see if that’s the direction the Habs take. After all, whether it’s McTavish or someone else, they’ll need reinforcements.<\/p>\n
