I agree that Philips is small though.
It's a bit of neither here nor there, with the argument of defensive game. You're comparing a 3/10 to a 4/10 and arguing with is the 4. To say Gaudreau runs away with the comparison over defence is absurd though. Gateway barely played more than ten feet back of his own blue line until Sutter made him. Philips is much quicker on transition and the back check.

Sorry but Gaudreau is more like an 8/10 defensively if Phillips is a 3. At least he was in his last year here, I have not watched him in Columbus. Phillips kind of reminds me of a smaller Marty Murray.
