Value of: Mason McTavish? For reals?

[GrumpyKoala]

Can we interest you in a slightly older slightly more used Craig McTavish?

I'm gonna put myself out there and remind people (especially canucks fans) that nice guys don't win cups.

If Miller is a hard ass with 5 years left on his contract of $8 million with the cap expected to be at or above $100 million before he expires.

There's more than a few teams that would take that contract for youth.

I'll also say I had the Ducks as my dark horse this year to make the playoffs because what they've been building there since 2019/2020 has been smart as hell but they're missing one or two pieces to really start putting it together

Possibly for me the main reason I look at the Ducks for Miller is simply that it would be one of the most logical places MIller would waive too and because the Ducks have the centre depth to lose a younger piece and out of them it's looking like Zegras or McTavish because there's no way I could ever see them parting with a Carlsson, Nesterenko or Gaucher

(ducks fans probably not as high on Gaucher as I am but a big RHC is always hard as hell to find)

There may be a workable trade there may not be; but with someone mentioning McTavish potentially being (rumoured only) asked about it doesn't hurt to try to connect the dots

I honestly can't see any way that the Ducks trade McTavish for a player 10 years older than him. Just doesn't make any sense organizationally unless they are giving up on the rebuild. The team is making some modest strides but is nowhere near playoff caliber with or without Miller.

Gaucher might end up being a Derek Grant type 4C but that is his ceiling. Very disappointing pick.

If the Sens decide to deal Tkachuk prior to July 1st I would be happy with a deal based around McTavish+

Maybe something like McTavish + Zegras + something for Tkachuk + Norris to equalize positions in vs. out

Wow Well thought out.

What happened here? I thought I remembered there being a good amount of optimism about him relatively recently. I don't follow prospects outside of PIT/CBJ very much though.

I still am sad that they didn't take the next step this year. All the pieces in place to be an exciting team to watch and push for at least a wild card spot.

Figured people wouldn't be as high in Gaucher as I am. Don't know what's gone wrong with him or if he's a slow burn but he has everything going for him if he puts it together
