Value of: Mason McTavish? For reals?

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.

What would you want from Montreal?So I'm taking a break and reading ESPN on the NHL (yes, yes, I know), specifically this article:
And in their list of "elite pending free agents" they're sugesting as up for trade, they include... Mason McTavish?
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
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...)

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

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

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

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.

Offer made me think tbh.... idk if its the right play... but its a pretty good offer.
I’ve always liked McT, “Bulldog” type player in my eyes. I don’t know much about his personality, but he seems like a serious kid who wants to be great, not just good. It is hard to judge young players cause of the inconsistency. Like you said though, he has shown flashes of being a top 6 player in this league. I still think that’s where he ends up. Now whether that’s in Anaheim or not, I have no idea. I’m honestly shocked his name has popped up…but I guess if you get a top player, it might be hard to pass up. Anyway, hope he turns it up here and gets going
As a Ducks fan I definitely am not answering any calls on him. Young and developing, bad teams and bad systems plus some injuries. I get his trajectory has been up and down but he’s always been a guy you’d want turning into a Sam Bennett at his peak. I think getting close to that is still reasonable.
This also shows just how hard rebuilds are. Even if Carlsson gets close to being our Barkov (long ways to go lol), we still need to find our Tkachuk, Verhaege, Forsling, 1G, Lundell + depth. And yes I get the Panthers aren’t the only blueprint for SC success but man :/

Right now the Ducks' biggest problem is that they have no true star players. They have older veterans who are decent, but only decent. The kids all have shown promise ... but nothing consistent, which is not surprising for their age. The one guy in his prime is Terry, but on a good team he'd be like the 3rd best forward, not the top one.
Hard to win without anyone elite. If an opportunity arises to parlay some of the young pieces into a legit star in his prime, they should consider it. Because if they just wait for 3 or 4 guys to develop, it might still be another several years (and never any guarantees it happens at all regardless of draft pedigree).

If NJ re-signs Kovacevic and has their Top 6 set in stone, I wouldnt be opposed to a Nemec for McTavish swap
Is that fair value !? Both young, seemingly been over-taken by others in their teams respective depth charts.
NJ still has Casey waiting in the wings and their current Top 6 is playing so well, see no need in keeping him if we can get a big upgrade

Addressed it already in the thread but no, a McTavish/Nemec swap would be opposite to the Ducks needs. They have plenty of talented young Dmen and lack scoring.
