Yeah. He went from playing with the NHL club at the end of '15-'16 (and then, only a team that had offloaded vets and wasn't exactly putting every effort into winning hockey games) to struggling with the AHL club for a good portion of the year. That's a troubling trend for me. Still lots of upside, but I need to see some progression first.
From here, I probably go Wotherspoon, Shinkaruk, Phillips. I'm with you on not buying into Phillips until he shows he can put up numbers in the pro game.
