Yup. Definitely has my vote now that Kulak is off the board. It's no coincidence that both Stockton and Calgary went on extended tough streaks when Hathaway left the lineup and turned things around almost immediately when he got back in.

It most likely was a coincidence.

I watched every game and he made a noticeable difference when he was in.

I voted for Rittich again. Phillips also impressed me by getting into 2 Heat playoff games where he didn't score though.

To be honest I can see a little Paul Byron in Phillips

[Love]

Rittich then one of Klimchuk/Phillips/Poirier

I smell a run off.

Some interesting comments on him here

Phillips is eye-poppingly good. He’s the youngest of this list, has the highest % of 5v5 offence for 18-year-olds, has the second highest primary points to points ratio (again, highest among 18-year-olds). He’s better than Bjorkstrand and Rattie, the two closest historical comparisons. He tracks very closely to Sam Steel, a first round pick last year.

Simply put, Phillips, as an 18-year-old, has taken over a team the same way you expect a 19- or 20-year-old to. He singlehandedly dragged the Royals kicking and screaming into the playoffs. The kid is good.

Sam Steel btw, might be a top five or ten centre prospect in the league at this point.
Bjorsktrand has 21 points in 38 NHL GP.
Rattie was just Sven Baertschi's sidekick.

The fact that Phillips' production skews towards 5 on 5 rather than being a power play specialist, bodes very well for him translating to at least the next level.

Voted Prybil but it was supposed to be for Rittich. Woops

[Bingo]

I'll wait for a few more votes and then re-launch a run off
