It's always interesting when the "big" well-known NHL insiders talk about possible acquisitions for the Montreal Canadiens.
They don't only cover the Habs, so when they specifically target the Tricolore, it's always intriguing.
Obviously, the name Mason McTavish (who is still without a contract for next season) refuses to leave the Montreal media.. After all, he's an excellent young center and a possible future star forward.
He absolutely checks all the boxes for the Montreal Canadiens.
Kent Hughes has in hand the trade offer to acquire forward Mason McTavish, but is he ready to put it on the table?
According to what the well-regarded David Pagnotta mentioned, the Canadiens definitely have the necessary assets in hand to make a trade offer that could allow them to acquire McTavish.. Or at least, to make a trade offer that would seriously make the Ducks think about it.
David Pagnotta: Re Mason McTavish: "Based on a young asset pool perspective...yeah the Canadiens have a ton of that; I'm sure there's enough there..that would entice the Ducks to at least take a look" - Campbell vs Gallo
Now, the problem here is that Michael Hage would probably need to be involved in that offer, and I'm far from convinced that Kent Hughes is ready to go there.
Mason McTavish, 22 years old, is a complete center at 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, who was selected 3rd overall by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2021 Draft (first round).
He has accumulated 140 points in 229 career NHL games, including 60 goals, and he recorded 52 points in 76 games in 2024-2025, on a third line and with little power-play time.
He would literally be ideal as the second-line center for the Montreal Canadiens, but Michael Hage could also be ideal.. A few years from now!
And you, what would you do if you were Kent Hughes?
