Doesn’t mean the player doesn’t want out or the situation isn’t somewhat stressed, but not being discussed as available… yet at least, suppose that could change.
ANA can match any offer sheet with over 30M in space so that’s not a threat.
Told that McTavish is quite happy in ANA so I’m not entirely sure where the rumour of him not being happy is coming from.

It’s fan fiction and thinking teams want to trade their young centers because we are desperate.
On opportunities for Zegras
Yeah, ultimately Trevor has been wanting to play center, and I think that he'll be given that opportunity in Philadelphia. I think that when he's more creative in the middle of the ice than having to play from the wing, we're fortunate there's Leo [Carlsson] and there's Mason [McTavish]. So we find that they're two pretty good centermen. So Trevor to kind of get pushed to the wing, and that probably doesn't suit his best attributes being able to create from the middle. So bringing in Chris Kreider kind of changed the line combinations from that aspect. And as I said before, we're looking to have different ingredients of players to complement each other's assets. You can't always have the most skilled guys on a line and expect that line to be great. There's always another ingredient that helps make those skilled guys better. So I'm looking for those types of scenarios to have our lines have a different look and a different feel.
No mention of Cutter either. Doesn’t sound like a player being groomed for 3rd line duty. More like making sure the spot in the top 2 is his.
It’s pretty evident they have a plan of Leo-Mason-Pmoney
