Overview
- Late May reporting shows Anaheim has been taking calls on Mason McTavish but is not actively shopping him and would only move him for a substantial return.
- McTavish is 23 and signed a six-year, $42 million contract last September that carries a $7 million average annual value and has no reported trade protection.
- His production slipped from 52 points in 2024–25 to 41 points in 2025–26 and he lost ice time, including healthy scratches late in the regular season and in the playoffs.
- Media outlets named the Toronto Maple Leafs, St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg Jets as teams that inquired and analysts suggested fits such as Philadelphia and St. Louis as logical landing spots.
- The Ducks’ decision is tied to roster construction and cap planning because younger players like Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier face big raises and Anaheim could use a trade to address specific holes.
