Despite you holding your breath Johnny is invaluable to the Flames' success, so if Phillips ends up contributing anywhere near as much as Gaudreau then it's worth getting 'hyped'. Gaudreau is hit every so often & manages to bounce back so I don't know if your worries are really justified.
The real question is whether Phillips will be able to translate his success in the WHL to the pro leagues. It's become tough to project how these WHL superstars will do against NHL defences.
