Gawdin IMO has less likelyhood to make the show than thr Klimchuk, Arnold and Shinkaruk types that have been in our system in past years.
Phillips has some issues, mainly winning board battles, but he's a very dangerlus with a great shot, great vision, high IQ, creative.
Production never tells the whole story. Gawdin was used in the top 6 far more than Phillips last year, but was underwhelming at best.
