Glad they are re-signed, and I expect everyone else to be soon too.
I doubt, however, that anyone would claim Phillips. I personally like him as a prospect, but he is tiny and a question mark. He didn't rip the AHL a new one either, so it isn't like he is some phenom that is being held back in some way. I do expect him to get a look through injuries this season - and he deserves it. I do not, however, think anyone is going to claim him. I would think there would be more interested teams putting a claim in on Kylington than Phillips, but even then I expect Kylington to pass through waivers on the deadline when teams have to finalize their rosters.
The only wildcard would be Seattle, since I have no idea how they are building their roster right now, and I can see them claiming a couple of players then.
