Interesting sampling of smaller stature players in the same ballpark of AHL production as Phillips. 4 of the 9 made it to NHL 100 games, but only Marchessault eclipsed 200 though Czarnik still has a shot at making it there, too. Here's hoping after a sufficient 30- to 40-game sample Phillips looks like the outlier in Marchessault and not the rest of the lot.
Jonathan Marchessault (175)
Cory Conacher (180)
Austin Czarnik (170)
Seth Griffith (190)
Chris Bourque (175)
Phil Varone (185)
Corey Locke (165)
Marc Arcobello (175)
Jeremy Bracco (195)
Matthew Phillips (165)
