Per Puckpedia, each player will receive $80,000 at the AHL level.
Phillips, 23, was a sixth round pick of the Flames in the 2016 NHL Draft &#8211; they received the pick in the David Jones trade with Minnesota at that year&#8217;s trade deadline. Despite being not particularly large, he was a superb WHL scorer and has emerged as one of Stockton&#8217;s most reliable offensive weapons. He made his NHL debut in the final game of the 2020-21 season. He had 21 points in 30 AHL games last season and will likely be in the mix for NHL time at this year&#8217;s training camp.
Philp, 25, joined the Flames as an undrafted signing from the University of Alberta Golden Bears of USPORTS. He&#8217;s spent his time in pro hockey exclusively with the Stockton Heat, but he&#8217;s been a consistent scoring threat. He had 17 points in 30 AHL games last season. He&#8217;s likely AHL depth right now until he can show a bit more dynamism in his game, but you&#8217;re never going to complain about having a guy with his shot in your farm system.
