## Resource

Mason McTavish’s name is swirling around the Canadiens, but is he worth the hype—or the price? The 23-year-old Ducks forward brings size, physicality, and scoring flashes, but his recent dip in production, skating concerns, and playoff healthy scratch stint raise red flags. With five years left on his $7M deal, he’s a versatile center but falls short of the elite expectations of a third-overall pick. Compared to younger, cheaper, and faster Oliver Kapanen—who matched McTavish’s career-best goal total—Kapanen’s package looks more appealing. While McTavish has the potential, the Canadiens may be better off chasing a player who’s already proven he can deliver without the baggage.
