Former Player Agent Reveals the Bold Move He'd Make If He Were Canadiens GM

Not only will it allow them more flexibility with their budgets, but we may also see a growing number of offer sheets submitted to restricted free agents.

The 2025 class is particularly strong, featuring players such as Noah Dobson, Evan Bouchard, Luke Hughes, Gabe Vilardi, Matthew Knies, and Mason McTavish.

The Duck forward is drawing particular attention from Montreal Canadiens fans, as it's known that Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton are actively searching for a second-line center.

The 22-year-old forward is coming off the best season of his career with the Anaheim Ducks and will undoubtedly be looking for a substantial contract.

Speaking on BPM Sports, former player agent David Ettedgui stated that if he were the Canadiens' GM, he wouldn't hesitate for a second to submit an offer sheet to Mason McTavish.

He even suggested that Kent Hughes offer him a 7-year deal worth $9.2 million per season.

That would be the price to pay, according to some sources.

Here is his exact offer:

Let's just say that overpaying McTavish at this stage of his career wouldn't sit well within the Ducks organization, as GM Pat Verbeek will have important decisions to make regarding other young players like Leo Carlsson, Cutter Gauthier, and Jackson LaCombe.
