After weeks of rumors linking Mason McTavish to the Canucks, his trade fate has officially been sealed, as it appears the Ducks will not be trading him away. The <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl/news/report-vancouver-canucks-emerge-as-contender-for-top-remaining-nhl-free-agent-and-former-winnipeg-jet' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Vancouver Canucks have been seeking to bolster their roster</a> ahead of training camp, and one player widely speculated to have been linked to them over the last few weeks was Anaheim Ducks restricted free agent Mason McTavish. Less than a month after news surfaced that the Canucks had interest in the former third-overall pick, there is <a href='https://www.sportskeeda.com/us/nhl/news-nhl-analyst-pours-cold-water-mason-mctavish-trade-rumors-shoots-links-3b-franchise' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>another report that appears to shut the door.</a> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/AlexRosquez/status/1955299616246607896'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> On BPM Sports Radio in Quebec, Marco D'Amico of RG.org revealed that while McTavish is what the Montreal Canadiens, another interested suitor, are seeking, the Ducks forward is not available for trade, which means he is now off the table for the Canucks, too. McTavish checks all the boxes for the Canadiens, but he is not available. Marco D'Amico said. NHL insider Frank Seravalli supported that notion earlier this week, stating it doesn't appear that McTavish is going to be changing clubs this summer. He also eliminated the possibility of an offer sheet, saying the situation is on hold for the moment. Re Mason McTavish: He was a hot topic...a guy who I think could potentially use a change of scenery; I don't think that's ultimate going to happen...don't see him as an offer sheet candidate. - Frank Seravalli <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLRumourReport/status/1956045403717013566'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <h3>The Canucks Will Need to Turn Their Attention to Other Players They're Linked to Instead</h3> With McTavish supposedly off the board, the Canucks might be forced to change gears if they still intend to sign a second centerman prior to the start of the season. One possible course of action might be going back to the Minnesota Wild to try and sign Marco Rossi, a signing Vancouver supposedly made an overture on close to two months ago. If that fails, Jack Roslovic is also in the picture and linked to the Canucks. At least for now, it appears Mason McTavish will remain in Anaheim, and the Canucks will have to look elsewhere to fill out their roster.
