New Twist Emerges in Canadiens' Pursuit of Mason McTavish Acquisition
The Montreal Canadiens are still actively searching for a second-line center, and Mason McTavish may be getting closer to joining the Habs.
Kent Hughes has made several acquisitions this summer to improve the Canadiens, but the team is still looking for a center for the second line.

Moreover, forward Mason McTavish has all the qualities needed to fill that role for the Canadiens.
The Ducks don't seem willing to offer the contract he wants, and he could start the season with another team.
However, a new development has surfaced regarding the possible acquisition of McTavish.
