Proposal: Mason McTavish (ANA) for Jake Sanderson (OTT)

I don’t think the Ducks have any interest in moving McTavish.
Ducks hang up the phone. Sanderson is very good, but McTavish has such a unique skill set
With Chychrun reportedly not fitting too well in Ottawa, and given how high end Sanderson is, pretty sure he's an untouchable for them.
And honestly, not sure why Anaheim would trade McTavish either, it's not like they're lacking in great young dmen prospects.
I just don't see the fit.

My two favourite teams, I really don't see the motivation for either side here.
to shake things up, possibly gives Ducks one of the best d corps for the future and turns Ottawas forward crop truly dangerous

We need more Sandersons not less
@WhatTheDuck this was my fantasy theory, but nice Ducks and Sens, future is bright for both, enjoy both these players for the next decade

Why do Anaheim need to shake things up?
I get sens might wanna "shake things up" but it also doesnt make any sense for them to strengthen their foward core while weaking defense when Chych is reportedly on the way out.
I love McTavish but no way in hell Ottawa even takes that call.

How are they going to know what Anaheim is calling about, if they don't answer?
Your theory makes no sense and I demand you to elaborate
How did Ottawa know what the call was going to be about?
Staios is next level. He is omniscient.

Makes no sense for Ottawa.
“Let’s take from our position of weakness, (DEFENCE, that play defence) to add to our position of strength (CENTRES)”
Not even worth a discussion, terrible thread idea.

Things Ottawa does not need:
Centres.
Things Ottawa does need:
Another Jake Sanderson but on the RS.
No chance Ottawa deals Sanderson, like…zero. He’s Ottawas most irreplaceable player.

You think the Ducks were the ones coming up with this and calling Ottawa?
Back to the original premise. Did you even look to see what Anaheim needs or did you just think "I want my team to have this player, here's one of ours that's pretty good too..."? Because Anaheim is overflowing with strong D prospects, many probably ready to hit the league in the next couple of years. Chances are very good that they'll be trading some of them fairly soon. The last thing they need is another D-man clogging things up & taking away time to evaluate the ones that they already have.
They probably will be, but they can do that while still holding on to MacT.
Sorry, in a vacuum, an interesting proposal/thought, but in the actual world it's really bad for Anaheim.
Sanderson hasn’t even started the eight year contract extension he signed with Ottawa yet … if a team and a player show that level of commitment to each other, I can’t imagine a team sending out a message to all future free agents “commit with us so we can ship you out!” by doing something like that. It just doesn’t happen. Even with the management shift and that not being a Staios contract, it’s still something that, organizationally, you just don’t do unless the player is demanding a trade.
So to me any question of evaluating Sanderson vs McTavish on skill set, future, team need … is all secondary to the fact that Sanderson’s contract extension really shows a mutual commitment to Ottawa that it would be a terrible idea for Ottawa to ship out before it even begins.
If Sanderson was still where he was at this time last year (and basically where McTavish is now - over a year from end of ELC and thus with no long term commitment in place) then we could make an apples to apples comparison. But they’re not. You don’t trade the guy you just extended 8 years that hasn’t even begun year 1 yet … unless you’re offered the most outlandish of overpayments to make it an offer you can’t refuse, like a Bedard. You don’t trade that for a remotely equivalent skill player just to ‘shake things around’

If 21 years old 1D playing 23min per game is last thing your team need im seriously jealous.
