2025 Fantasy Outlook
Taken with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, McTavish has proven to be a valuable top-six forward, but a breakout into stardom has eluded him. Although the 22-year-old set career highs with 22 goals and 52 points across 76 outings with Anaheim in 2024-25, if you compare his offensive production to 2023-24 (19 goals and 42 points in 64 appearances), then he showed no growth in terms of goals or points per 60 minutes. However, he did fire the puck more (180 shots compared to 130 in 2023-24), and his expected goals jumped to 25.4 from 16.7 a season prior, so an argument could be made that some bad puck luck masked what would have been an encouraging step forward. Combine that with the expectation that the young forward will continue to develop, and McTavish might make significant strides in 2025-26. Read Past Outlooks

February 26, 2026
McTavish logged a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.
ANALYSIS
McTavish missed the last five games of January due to an upper-body injury. He went scoreless in his first two contests back before the Olympic break, and he broke the brief drought by helping on Alex Killorn's tally in the second period of Wednesday's win. McTavish is at 31 points (seven on the power play), 110 shots on net, 57 hits, 28 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a minus-9 rating across 52 appearances this season. He'll likely play in a middle-six role for the rest of the campaign.

NHL Trade Tips: Mason McTavish has Fantasy Value

This week’s trade suggestions include trading for Mason McTavish, who, since taking over for injured Leo Carlson, has two goals in three games for the Ducks.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Despite being limited to 64 games due to injuries, McTavish showcased plenty of progress during his sophomore season. He operated at nearly a 55-point pace, generating 19 goals and 23 helpers in 2023-24. He had 10 goals and 21 points in 20 games to start the year, including six power-play points, a shorthanded goal and three game-winners. McTavish experienced some difficulties offensively as the season progressed, and injuries may have played a role in those struggles. He missed the final six contests because of a sprained MCL but didn't need to undergo offseason knee surgery. As a result, the 21-year-old forward should be a full participant in training camp. McTavish will likely see ice time in all situations and has breakout potential in 2024-25 if he plays in the Ducks' top six.
McTavish provided 17 goals, 43 points, 44 PIM, 161 shots, 55 hits and 37 blocked shots in 80 contests with Anaheim last season, making it a fairly successful rookie campaign. Still, the 20-year-old has a lot of room to grow. Taken with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, McTavish has the potential to be sound defensively and a force with the puck. He struggled in the second half of the 2022-23 campaign, recording just eight goals and 17 points over his final 40 outings, but some growing pains are to be expected. It wouldn't be surprising to see him take a step forward in 2023-24 while serving as Anaheim's second-line center behind Trevor Zegras.
McTavish played with five different teams over the course of last season, including the Ducks, their AHL affiliate in San Diego, two OHL clubs, and the Canadian Olympic roster. Anaheim surprised many by tabbing McTavish at No. 3 overall in the 2021 draft, but the early returns are highly encouraging. He has the look of an impact offensive player with a hard, heavy shot. McTavish was the best player at the pandemic-delayed 2022 World Juniors which was completed this past summer, leading the tournament in scoring while being named MVP. McTavish is still more of a dynasty/keeper asset than redraft option, but the Ducks are going to have a difficult time not carrying him on their roster this coming season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Closing in on six-year deal
CAnaheim Ducks
September 27, 2025
McTavish, who is a restricted free agent, and the Ducks are close to signing a six-year extension worth roughly $42 million, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
It was recently reported that McTavish and Anaheim hadn't made much progress in contract negotiations, but things have changed quickly. The 22-year-old forward set career highs in 2024-25 with 22 goals and 52 points in 76 outings with the Ducks. Those numbers on their own aren't good enough to justify his $7 million cap hit, but McTavish has tons of offensive upside, and this deal might end up looking like a steal in the near future.
