Well, it turns out "Trader Don" isn't finished trading yet. Zack Phillips, former first-round and current minor league depth player, was traded to the St. Louis Blues for future considerations. What a blockbuster! Phillips cracked 30 goals twice in junior, with 38 goals in his draft year. The Wild brass was sufficiently impressed with his offensive finesse and drafted him in the late first round, signing him to a contract a year later.
Since then, Phillips struggled in the AHL, as he hasn't scored double-digits in minor-league play in two years. Before being traded, Phillips was playing for the Bruins' ECHL affiliate in Atlanta, the Gladiators. He was the only player on the Gladiators with an NHL contract.
