Gawdin is up there, too, but he's a pending UFA and has always projected as a bottom-six guy. Pelletier is probably best suited for top-six minutes right now and Phillips has always been top-nine or bust.
Also, how many preseason games did Phillips play, two? I wouldn't put much stock into that at all, especially because he wasn't playing with very good linemates.

They won't be giving them top six roles even if top six players are out. They will move 3rd liners like Lucic, Monahan or Dube) up the lineup and put rookies into bottom six.
