Toronto enters its first offseason without a postseason appearance since 2016, and major roster changes are expected. Auston Matthews has been linked to uncertainty about long-term commitment, though early discussions with John Chayka and Mats Sundin reportedly went well. If Matthews becomes open to a move after evaluating Toronto’s offseason, Anaheim is suggested as one of his likely landing spots. Pierre LeBrun reports the Ducks would have the pieces to make a larger trade work. Mason McTavish is identified as a forward who fits the return criteria, and multiple teams have reportedly inquired about him. The Ducks’ recent playoff progress and young core support the plausibility of a blockbuster deal.
""If Auston Matthews watches the Toronto Maple Leafs' offseason play out over the next five or six weeks and decides he's not sure they are still a contender and says he's open to a move, I would venture to guess Anaheim would be on his list of seven or eight potential desired landing spots. And the Ducks would have the pieces to make it work in a larger package." LeBrun wrote on The Athletic."
""One player who fits that criteria is 23-year-old forward Mason McTavish, which is a little obvious after he was scratched for two playoff games. I have zero evidence to suggest the Anaheim Ducks are the ones picking up the phone and calling teams about him. But I know for a fact that several teams have inquired about him." LeBrun later added."
