All four guys are maybes, not just Phillips. The Flames don't have that other top nine guy ready.
Phillips can beat the other three out if he proves he's better than the other three.

Agreed, however if Phillips, Ruzicka or Milano are even close in terms of performance by the end of the training camp
In my view, Phillips will be cut,
