Rumors surrounding young star players are often amplified as the season approaches, and Mason McTavish is no exception.
In recent weeks and even months, several speculations suggested that the Ducks forward could be involved in a trade or even targeted by an offer sheet. Unsurprisingly, his name has been widely linked with the Canadiens.
However, a major insider has come forward to clarify things.
Pierre LeBrun, in a report cited by The Athletic, confirmed that McTavish had not requested to leave Anaheim.
A detail that is sure to temper the enthusiasm of some teams looking for a promising young center.
Mason McTavish wants to stay with the Anaheim Ducks
According to LeBrun, McTavish remains focused on his role with the California organization and wants to continue his development in Anaheim.
The journalist specified:
"McTavish has not asked for a trade. He wants to remain in Anaheim."
He also added that despite some behind-the-scenes discussions, nothing concrete had been proposed regarding a possible offer sheet.
"There hasn't yet been any real offer-sheet talk as far as I can tell. But if this goes into October, I suppose one never knows"

For now, things seem calm. But LeBrun still issued a warning: if the situation drags on until October, things could change quickly.
If the signing of a new contract continues to stall, the door could open to other scenarios, but I believe nothing indicates that this is the player's current wish.
