The hockey world in Montreal is buzzing with speculation, and for good reason. Mason McTavish, the talented young center from the Anaheim Ducks, has become the subject of relentless rumors and dreams among Canadiens fans and analysts alike.
With his contract situation unresolved and the new season rapidly approaching, McTavish’s name is being whispered in every corner of the city—and now, there’s an intriguing twist that could change everything.
While many have wondered if Montreal Canadiens GM Kent Hughes was truly interested in pursuing McTavish, a respected insider has finally confirmed that the team is officially monitoring the situation.
But what does this really mean for Montreal’s chances, and why is McTavish such a perfect fit for the Canadiens’ current needs? The details behind this developing story are more complex than they first appear, and there are several factors at play that could determine whether McTavish ever dons the Tricolore jersey.
As the drama unfolds, fans are left wondering just how far the Canadiens might go to land such a promising talent—and what it could mean for the future of the franchise. Dive deeper to uncover the full story behind Kent Hughes’ interest and the real possibilities for Montreal’s lineup.

The name of Mason McTavish has been talked about a lot in Montreal since the beginning of the summer.
He represents everything the Canadiens need right now, and his relationship with the Anaheim Ducks does not seem to be going well, so it’s just a logical association.
On top of that, the young centerman still doesn’t have a contract with the season starting in less than a month!
In short, many fans and observers are dreaming about Mason McTavish.
His name has been excessively linked to the Canadiens (for the reasons we just mentioned), but we didn’t even know if Kent Hughes was really officially invested in this case.
We now have that confirmation.
Marco D’Amico confirms that Kent Hughes is monitoring the Mason McTavish case
Wow!
So rest assured that if McTavish does become openly available, the Montreal Canadiens will be in the mix to acquire him.
“I can confirm the Habs are monitoring the situation.
But I can also tell you they likely wouldn’t be the team to put in the heaviest offer if he was made available”
– Marco D’Amico
It’s therefore confirmed.
The Canadiens are monitoring the McTavish situation.
they can add until they work the deal..
Matheson, 2nd rounders.. etc.. if there is a sign & trade about to happen the player get to choose at some point no?
Im just saying that it’s maybe unlikely.. but pretty sure Hughes have Verbeek on fast dial 😅

Let’s obviously remember that Mason McTavish is a very complete young centerman, 22 years old, who was the third overall pick in 2021 (1st round) and who collected 52 points in 76 games last season.
He would be a dream second center in Montreal behind captain Nick Suzuki, and he still doesn’t have a contract for the 2025-2026 season.
He is currently a restricted free agent.
