That's just such a kick in the dick.

Apparently he needed yet another year of AHL development. After being named a first team AHL all star and leading the top team in scoring, he still had a lot to learn in the AHL?
And yes, he takes the guaranteed pay out every time. This is a sport of injuries, and Phillips is turning 26.
Another major issue with the Flames is that there is such a lot jam, from not playing the other prospects either. Coronato, Pelletier, Zary, Ruzicka, and Duehr were competing for the same spots. A two way contract with the flames guarantees f all.
