Ducks Trade Mason McTavish to Blues for Two First-Round Picks

In a major draft-day deal, the Anaheim Ducks have traded 23-year-old center Mason McTavish to the St. Louis Blues. The Ducks acquired the Nos. 15 and 29 overall picks in the 2026 NHL Draft in exchange for the young talent. McTavish, who is entering the second year of a six-year, $42 million contract, heads to St. Louis to provide offensive depth, while Anaheim secures significant draft capital to continue their roster restructuring efforts.
