Maybe if the Flames were able to trade Gaudreau to Nashville for Forsberg in a shake up deal, then maybe you can bring in Phillips. But as long as Gaudreau is around we're exceeding our daily allowable count of tiny players. I'm pretty sure Sutter isn't going to get smaller with this team. If anything he's going to reach into the minors and pull up some of the big bodies with grit and willingness to play a heavy game.

Phillips is the same height as Alex Debrincat and a right shot. Of cours, HockeyDB lists Debrincat at 165 lbs. and Phillips at only 145 lbs. I wonder how up to date it is.
