Overview

• Mason McTavish agreed to a six-year extension carrying a $7 million average annual value, with multiple outlets reporting a $42 million total.
• The agreement follows his absence from the Sept. 18 camp opener, which GM Pat Verbeek had called disappointing during the contract impasse.
• McTavish is expected to rejoin Anaheim to finish camp under new coach Joel Quenneville and resume a top-six role as the probable second-line center.
• He is coming off career highs of 22 goals and 30 assists (52 points) and has 140 points in 229 NHL games since being drafted third overall in 2021.
• His $7 million cap hit places him among Anaheim’s highest-paid forwards, and the Ducks still project roughly $13.5 million in 2025–26 cap space, per PuckPedia.
