“Mason McTavish would be a great fit with the Canadiens”

“Mason McTavish would be a great fit with the Canadiens”

The Canadiens need reinforcements at center.

After all, if we take for granted that Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook aren’t guaranteed to play center and that Christian Dvorak will become a free agent, the club has only two center players who are guaranteed a spot in October: Nick Suzuki and Jake Evans.

It’s a good thing Evans signed, anyway.

Ideally, the Habs would go for a second center to send Newhook to the center of the third unit and turn Kirby Dach into a winger who wouldn’t have the pressure of guiding a line all by himself.

But who to get? That’s the question of the summer.

Mason McTavish is a candidate. Obviously, we don’t know if the Ducks really want to let him go, but for the Habs, it’s probably worth a shot to see where Anaheim’s GM stands on the matter.

And on that subject, Tony Marinaro (The Sick Podcast) spoke to prospects specialist Craig Button. And Button thinks there’s a fit , and that McTavish would be a great fit with the Canadiens.

Should the #GoHabsGo be doing everything they can to acquire Mason McTavish?@CraigJButton: “He’d be a great fit… He’s got a great shot. He’s only getting better as time goes on. He’s wired to win!”#thesickpodcast @TonyMarinaro pic.twitter.com/h4xNLF5PXK

Me too, by the way. 6’1, left-handed, 219 lbs, improving, good ceiling: the profile is interesting, let’s face it.

Button believes that McTavish is getting better every year, that he has a good shot, that he plays the game the right way, that he has a desire to win, and so on. In short, he’s sung his praises en masse and wouldn’t hesitate to go after him.

I have a feeling that if the Ducks ever found McTavish asking for too much money (his entry-level contract expires in a few weeks), that’s when he could be traded – or a hostile offer sheet could come into play.

But if he is traded, it won’t be at a discount. Does the Habs have what it takes to interest the Ducks? And is it willing to give them?

The case wasn’t (yet) closed in Atlanta. https://t.co/G9V7nugUtU

– No comparison possible.

These two players made it to the Stanley Cup Final and lost to a generational player and stacked team.

One of these two was almost a point per game in those playoffs. https://t.co/uKd2VpHhnQ
