Elliotte Friedman Reveals Mason McTavish Reportedly Closing in on Major Deal
Mason McTavish and the Anaheim Ducks appear to have agreed on a massive contract according to Elliotte Friedman.
According to Elliotte Friedman, the young center and the California organization are nearing a six-year deal with an average annual value of $7 million.
"Finally over.
McTavish's camp was pushing for 8M on 8 years. This seems like a safe compromise on six years, though it looks like Verbeek gave up a lot of ground here.
Now all eyes on
Luke Hughes." - Marco D'Amico
The young McTavish will now have the pressure of taking on a leading offensive role on this team, considered by many to be in rebuilding mode.
Mason McTavish at the Heart of the Anaheim Ducks' Future
Well, it's official, the Ducks are sending a clear message: Mason McTavish will be at the heart of their long-term project.
On Montreal's side, I believe that if McTavish had become available, he would have certainly checked all the boxes for the Canadiens.
Nicolas Cloutier of TVA Sports mentioned this:
"A first domino falls in establishing the new salary scale for young star players. The Ducks are doing very well at an average annual value of $7M, but McTavish is setting the stage for another very costly contract at 28 years old."
