Phillips isn't an NHL player, let alone a guy you put on the top line. That's kind of the point about the hit we take in depth if you make the deal. You're forcing AHL players on the NHL roster. If we were another year along in the Zary & Pelletier development, I think you can take the gamble. Don't see the depth to lose three roster players (four after Eichel is out for much of the year) and think we won't feel the impact and have competitive team. How does the salary cap work too? That would be three forwards eating up ~35% of the cap. Are those players good enough to be doing that?
