Overview

  • The contract carries a $7 million average annual value through 2030-31 and includes a limited no-trade clause in the final two seasons, according to GM Pat Verbeek.
  • Verbeek said McTavish will practice with the Ducks on Monday and is expected to be available for remaining preseason games before the Oct. 9 opener in Seattle.
  • McTavish missed the start of training camp while unsigned, skating in Ottawa with the OHL’s 67’s as negotiations continued.
  • The $7 million cap hit ties him with Troy Terry and Mikael Granlund for second on the team, trailing defenseman Jacob Trouba’s $8 million.
  • The agreement secures McTavish’s top-two center role alongside Leo Carlsson after a career-best 22 goals and 52 points last season and 140 points in 229 NHL games.
