Mason McTavish's Unexpected Contract Standoff Could Shake Up Canadiens' Plans
Since the beginning of the summer, the management of the Montreal Canadiens has been looking for a center for the second line.
Mason McTavish has been linked to the Canadiens due to his contract situation, but things could change quickly for the young forward.
The Anaheim Ducks and Mason McTavish do not seem to agree on a contract for now.
The team can rely on several centers, including Leo Carlsson and Mikael Granlund.
The team also drafted Roger McQueen, who is a big-framed center, with the 10th overall pick.
However, Mason McTavish's future could surprise many fans.
Mason McTavish Could Agree on a Bridge Contract
The Anaheim Ducks management seems willing to offer him a short-term contract.
On McTavish's side, he would like to agree on a long-term deal with the team.
Anthony Di Marco brought a great insight in recent days.
"I don't think the Ducks will move McTavish; my best guess is that a bridge deal ultimately gets done."

One might wonder what the Anaheim Ducks want to do with the young forward.
They clearly have a surplus of centers in their organization.
However, management could ask a huge price for the forward, and it would be surprising to see him leave in a trade before the start of the season.
Finally, this situation is likely to be very interesting in the coming days, because if McTavish doesn't sign with the Ducks, we might get to see a hostile offer before the season begins.
