It’s a fair question. I think the Ducks consider the trade if they’re confident in their current center depth and feel that Zary’s projected contract and playing style / position are a better fit for their roster structure and cap strategy. They may view him as a lower-risk, potentially smarter player investment.
The Flames might be more willing to take a gamble on McTavish’s upside, even if it means committing to a higher salary or longer term.
