Fox. Andersson. Valimaki. Kylington. Brodie. The Flames drafted D that have worked out (to an extent) are the more average sized, point producing, more offense focused types.
Stepan Falkovsky. Keegan Kanzig. Riley Bruce. Tyler Wotherspoon. Patrick Sieloff. I'm missing a handful, but there is a long list of D first types in the prospect graveyard.
Would be great to see Phillips buck this trend.
