It's an odd choice for Phillips though. Does he really expect to beat out Ovechkin, Oshie, Mantha, Strome, Milano and Wilson for playing time in the top 9?
Caps also have prospects like Lapierre and McMichael pushing.
The Flames have a glaring hole on the RW for him with only Walker Duehr as the only right shot right winger.
Sure Love is there, but he's the assistant. It's Carbury's head on the line and he makes the calls.

Strome is a center — and I suspect Mantha will be traded before opening night. He's been all over the rumour mill this summer. Been a terrible fit in WSH.
