Mikael Granlund Anaheim Ducks, represented by the NHL club, started their training camp on Thursday, but one of the key players was missing.
This is a 22-year-old top-notch central striker Mason McTavish.
McTavish’s three -year entry agreement ended at the end of June and no agreement has yet been found between the parties on a new extension agreement.
When the contract has not been concluded with Ducks, McTavish has decided to practice with Ontario Hockey League’s Ottawa 67’s.

Last season McTavish scored 22 goals and 30 goals in 76 matches, being the team’s second most powerful player Troy Terry after.
The McTavish camp has been concerned about the role of the player in the coming season, and the situation has also attracted the interest of other NHL clubs. His intervention from the training camp sets the Ducks preparation for the opening of the season in a challenging situation.
