New Roadblock Emerges for Canadiens in Pursuit of Mason McTavish Trade
The Montreal Canadiens will begin their training camp next month, and Mason McTavish appears to be the team's next target.
But now a new obstacle has emerged in the pursuit of the forward.
Since the end of last season, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton have been actively looking for a second-line center.
Management had tried to add Jordan Kyrou to the team's roster, but that trade doesn't seem likely to materialize.

Several names have come up in recent days, but one that seems realistic is forward Mason McTavish.
He still hasn't signed with the Ducks, and the team already has multiple players who can play center.
Kent Hughes therefore has an excellent opportunity to get his hands on McTavish, but the situation could be more complicated for one specific reason.
Several teams are in the race for Mason McTavish
In recent days, we've learned that several teams - including the Detroit Red Wings - are expected to aggressively pursue the young center.
