McTavish Trade Rumors: Leafs Eye Pacific Talent

It's March 19th for the NHL, let's get into it.

The Toronto Maple Leafs face a pivotal offseason after a tough 2025-26 season with whispers

of roster shakes, coaching tweaks, and even management shifts.

One intriguing name floating around is Anaheim Duck Center, Mason McTavish, a young top six

forward who could fill a need if the Leafs decide to.

Rebuild aggressively.

Much recently got scratched in a duck's loss, sparking questions from insiders like Elliott

Friedman about his future.

He signed a big deal last September after a drawn out dispute, but his play hasn't

matched expectations, drawing comparisons to Boston's Jeremy, Swaman, who bounced back strong

after a similar saga.

Fans and analysts see potential in McTavish's 13 goals and 32 points over 61 games this

year.

But Toronto, he's a 23-year-old center who could step up in a bigger role, especially if

issues arise with star Austin Matthews offering.

Depth without breaking the bank yet, that said, concerns linger over his slow skating, weak

transition game, and defensive lapses.

At a $7 million cap hit, he's no giveaway, and the ducks are still in the playoff hunt,

so they might give him more time to turn it around.

As the season winds down, watch for Toronto to eye Pacific Division talent like McTavish

amid their reset talks, balancing risk with reward in a high-stakes summer.
