Value of: Mason McTavish? For reals?

[WhatTheDuck]

Typical Montreal proposal

It's a modern spin on Ryder + Halak + 2nd

It’s inconceivable for Mac to be traded as a 21 year old baring an overpay…

Well I’ve flipped… Verbeek would likely trade anyone (except Carlsson) for a subpar return. Time to see a real talented GM make a move… maybe the Rangers get Mac for Kaapo. Verbeek would probably even throw in a 2nd and eat a bad contract like an idiot.

So I'm taking a break and reading ESPN on the NHL (yes, yes, I know), specifically this article:

NHL trade tiers Big Board: Kreider, Rossi, Provorov among players generating buzz

While the trade deadline isn't until March 7, significant trades have already happened. Here are 68 players who could join a new team.

www.espn.com

And in their list of "elite pending free agents" they're sugesting as up for trade, they include... Mason McTavish?

I dunno if I'm looking at wild-ass speculation or if there's actually legitimately something there. In any case, what would the Ducks be looking for? (I imagine it'd be a heck of a lot since it seems more than a little early to give up on him, but if there's Something Else going on...)

What would you want from Montreal?

Marco Kasper + 2nd

 

[LuGBuG]

the problem is he hasn't shown he's a solid young piece. now that could just be because the coach is an absolute moron who's dragging down the entire team with his terrible system or mctavish just isn't the guy we think he is.

He has definitely shown that. Last year and in moments this year just having a rough go. Holy recency bias.

 

[PettersonHughes]

He's still scoring at the 3rd highest pace on the team (behind Terry and Vatrano, tied with Strome and Carlsson), why does he keep getting cycled through the lineup? One day he's L1, one day L2, next day he's L4 and no special teams time. Wouldn't he benefit from having a regular set of linemates and enough minutes to develop? He was a 42 point guy in only 64 games last season and does have that 1st round draft pick pedigree so he's not terrible, and could see him have a Cole Sillinger type progression?.

Lekkerimaki and a 1st

 

[JPeeper]

Maybe it's been said by other Flames fans, but I'd do Andersson + for McTavish in a heartbeat. + could be Jersey's 1st.

If were moving McTavish its for forward help, we have the lowest offensive #'s in the league.... McTavish if moved would be moved for something better up front.

Defense:
RHD: Trouba,Gudas, Helleson, Luneau
LHD: Mintyukov Dumolin, Lacombe Zellweger

Too many young players are stagnating offensively. They need to look at a coaching change before trading these guys.

During Cronin’s time in Loveland, it was a theme on the Avs board that forwards go there to die. The counter to that was always that the Avs are bad at drafting outside of the top 10, so Cronin would get a pass.

This is identical to his time in Anaheim and what’s said about the team and him.

Lekkerimaki and a 1st

Still a no but I at least credit you for offering a good prospect and a 1st which is a pretty respectable offer. Everyone else seems to think a 2nd gets in done in these bad proposals being offered.
