Mason McTavish sits at the center of Ducks trade chatter, but Anaheim intends to keep him. His camp has explored options, yet the Ducks’ playoff push and a crowded center rotation limit immediate changes. The fit with the current group remains strong, and dialogue has cooled as talks haven’t produced a blockbuster offer.

Two-way development, role clarity, and cap space shape the dynamic. If a ridiculous bid arrives, Anaheim will reassess; otherwise, McTavish’s growth path in Orange County stays the priority, with the team holding his rights as a prime building block for the years ahead.
