2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

McTavish (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.
ANALYSIS
McTavish hasn't played since Nov. 8, and a return to the lineup probably isn't imminent. He has generated two goals, six assists and 23 shots on net across 13 outings this season. With McTavish and Robby Fabbri (knee) on IR, Jansen Harkins and Brett Leason have been playing in the bottom six recently.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
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
Expected to stay with NHL team
CAnaheim Ducks
December 7, 2022
McTavish is unlikely to be loaned from the Ducks for the World Junior Championship, Scott Wheeler of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
McTavish had eight goals and nine assists en route to a gold medal at last year's tournament, but it appears unlikely he gets to repeat that. The 19-year-old has functioned as a middle-six option with the Ducks this year, posting four goals and 10 helpers in 27 contests in his first full NHL campaign.
