in that situation, for players that sign with the Wolves, would their (presumably) AHL-only contract give them an "out-clause" to be signed and called up to the NHL? Unless Phillips has given up on his NHL dream, might be fewer hoops to jump through if he signs with an NHL team with an AHL affiliate
I assume he is going to receive a Gawdin- or Froese-like contract. Two years, with guaranteed money ~$1M total. He won't be NHL rich, but he will still be rich
