The St. Louis Blues are reportedly in the process of acquiring forward Mason McTavish from the Anaheim Ducks, according to @FriedgeHNIC. The deal is expected to involve multiple first-round draft picks heading back to Anaheim as the Blues look to add the young center to their roster.
According to the report, the return for McTavish is believed to be the No. 15 and No. 29 overall selections. McTavish, 23, was originally selected third overall by the Ducks in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and has since become a key contributor in their lineup. The move would represent a significant shift in direction for both franchises as they approach the upcoming draft.
For the St. Louis Blues, the acquisition of McTavish adds a high-end talent to their forward group. For Anaheim, the move would secure two additional top-30 assets in the 2026 draft cycle. While the trade has been reported, it has not yet been officially announced by either team or the league office.
