NHL Shockwaves: Is Mason McTavish’s Future in Anaheim Suddenly in Jeopardy?
NHLRumors.com Note: As documented on NHLRumors.com, the Mason McTavish saga continues to drag on. Anaheim Ducks GM Pat Verbeek comes from the Steve Yzerman school of giving players bridge deals coming out of entry-level. However, the last two bridge deals Verbeek negotiated with Trevor Zegras and Jamie Drysdale did not go well, and both players are now with the Philadelphia Flyers.

However, as we have seen in the past with offer sheets, other GMs around the league do not want to do Verbeek’s work for him. So it remains a battle between McTavish and Verbeek. But the longer this drags on, the more concerning it is because they need McTavish in camp with Joel Quenneville instituting his system. While McTavish would be the perfect fit for what the Montreal Canadiens are looking for, does Kent Hughes want to give up the necessary assets to get him?
