Because as I said ... if there isn't a list then there really isn't a case for the organization not promoting players is there?

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm pointing out that of those two players one of them was given ample opportunity in Calgary and he didn't stick.
I'm not sure why Calgary is being considered a team that has a problem promoting young players.
As someone has already said, this isn't a Flames issue, this is a Phillips issue. I don't think that Phillips is guaranteed to step into the Flames lineup, in any role, and be an NHL player just because he is leading the AHL in points.
