I think the Flames will protect Tanev and offer no side deals.
If choosing between Gio or Kylington, I think they may take Phillips as they will need players on the cusp of making it.
They have 31 players they will draft in addition to those they will gain through side deals...Not all their players can play on the main roster and Phillips is well positioned to play in the AHL and provide depth (assuming he passes through waivers).
