'Mason McTavish would be a great fit with the Canadiens'

The Canadiens need reinforcements at center.

After all, if we take for granted that Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook aren’t guaranteed to play center and that Christian Dvorak will become a free agent, the club has only two center players who are guaranteed a spot in October: Nick Suzuki and Jake Evans.

It’s a good thing Evans signed, anyway.

Ideally, the Habs would go for a second center to send Newhook to the center of the third unit and turn Kirby Dach into a winger who wouldn’t have the pressure of guiding a line all by himself.

But who to get? That’s the question of the summer.

Mason McTavish is a candidate. Obviously, we don’t know if the Ducks really want to let him go, but for the Habs, it’s probably worth a shot to see where Anaheim’s GM stands on the matter.

And on that subject, Tony Marinaro (The Sick Podcast) spoke to prospects specialist Craig Button. And Button thinks there’s a fit , and that McTavish would be a great fit with the Canadiens.
