I'm not one to trust listed weights either way, but I'd take the team-posted stats on AHL and NHL official websites over hockeyDB.
I think if there's a difference in weight between Phillips and Yamamoto, it's negligible. If there's a difference in pedigree, I'd argue it's because one guy is a September birthday and was 18 during his draft year whereas Phillips was 17. If there's a difference in skill, hockey sense, or compete level, it's not something I've seen apparent in my viewings of either player at any level.
One guy, however, does play on an NHL line with a Hart Trophy winner, and the other guy apparently doesn't deserve a look in the NHL.
