There is no big loss in having a career minor leaguer signed away. I guarantee you that the fans in Colorado are not concerned about the loss of Dennis Gilbert or that the fans in San Jose don't care about losing Nicholas Meloche. Once players hit a certain age it is unlikely they are going to make the jump. Philp is 26. Not going to be an NHL player. He's a depth signing for the AHL.
