The Red Wings have a list of needs, and one of the biggest, for me, is the lack of talent they have down the middle. That’s why we’re taking center Mason McTavish with the 6th overall pick in SB Nation’s mock NHL Draft.
McTavish can be considered a hard-working “swiss army knife” style player — basically you can put him in any situation and he seems to find a way to thrive. What really excites me about a prospect like McTavish is that he’s relentless with the puck, and he knows how to win the important battles that can lead to puck possession and scoring chances.
