Mason McTavish Playing GREAT

[LuGBuG]

Hes producing more right now, but zegras has been fine for the most part... its a good problem to have

Only people complaining about Zegras are not Ducks fans lol.

Insanity that McTavish and his elite one-timer from the right half boards can’t draw onto the Ducks’ PP1 over Zegras in that spot. Oh no, can’t take an OZS over the golden boy.

 

[Oneiro]

No surprise. He's going to have a long career if he stays healthy.

One of those players like Beniers or Mercer. Difficult not to like him.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

That's nice to see, was hoping he would fall to the Wings that draft.

Same. People said I was crazy for saying he’d be monstrous. Glad to see he’s doing well.

I mean a lot of people thought mctavish at 3 was a reach(ducks fans and myself included)…. But looking pretty good so far

Ducks are getting awesome contributions from unexpected places. Vets like Vatrano and Strome. Young stars like McTavish, Leo and Minty. And then you’ve got Dostal in net at 4-1 rocking a .921 SV%.

But for me the most unheralded guy of all is LaCombe. Almost 23 minutes tonight - quiet game for the most part but he’s getting even more minutes than Minty working across from Fowler.

Then consider Terry and Zegras haven’t gotten going, Drysdale is not even close to having shaken the rust off, Killorn has yet to play and you’ve still got Luneau and Zellweger among others on the way - and this Ducks rebuild starts to take shape much, much faster than we may have originally thought. Even when streaky guys like Strome and Vatrano start to fall off some - there’s a ton of growth slack left on the roster already.

What's with these low effort threads? If you're going to make a thread like this about a player, talk about the type of game he plays, what he's improved at over last season, what's contributed the most to his early success etc.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

With him and Leo Carlsson I wonder if Zegras will be the odd man out in a few years.

They have position versatility, McTavish and Zegras can both play wing. Also nothing wrong with trying to build 3 scoring lines also

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Remember when nearly everyone was saying the Ducks were dumb to pass on Eklund for McTavish ?

I assure you Cronin has not treated Zegras like "golden boy"

 

[Osakahaus]

MacTav is the reincarnation of Getzlaf. God help us all.

Seriously the Ducks smacked it out of the park with their past few drafts. About time we see the results on ice. Mintyukov also deserves some props!

 

[snowave]

Mac-T has been excellent, but he still takes quite a few irresponsible penalties.

Hopefully he will grow out of that.

McTavish’s unit has been getting more PP time than Zegras’ unit lately. Neither unit is all that great, to be fair.

Martin Madden Fils should have been hired in Montréal, I love his work

Pfft future captain yea right

Terry is the future captain

Haha ok

 

[duckpuck]

The funny thing about this thread - I'd argue that Terry's poor play has been one of the main reasons Zegras' numbers have been down. Zegras hasn't scored much and looked a little rusty to start the season due to his holdout. But he's playing a pretty solid 200 foot game and is still driving a lot of possession/generating scoring chances.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Between his points and his high PIMs he must be a fantasy darling

He is for me so far. I just picked him up for face offs wins from a guy listed as a C, LW. He's rated 10th overall right now.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

future captain

OP has even said he doesnt like Zegras cause of his "dipsy-doodles" lol, boomers being boomers of course

People just typically look at stats and thats it lol.

Always been high on McTavish. Stole him in my dynasty league. Dude is just an extremely smart player with a deadly shot. Hes not always going to wow you with flash and dash but he knows where to be and can make the right play. Think he ends up bein a really good 2-way ppg C with some bite.

 

[LuGBuG]

I like how he always seems angry. Gamer.
