Will say this though hes the second best forward on that team and at 18 that's impressive especially playing for a team with mediocre coaching.
Future is bright.

Ya it's not the first time the Rockets have shut him down, had a game earlier in the season when they did as well. The Foote brothers are legit, both will be top 4 guys in the NHL, Nolan is probably gonna be a star. I also hate how Vic pairs them together as well, especially vs a team like Kelowna. The Rockets are a very very good Junior team. Seems like you caught Phillips on an off night. Either way lots of development is left and no I don't think he will be in the NHL next season, as awesome as it would be. He's still a long way from the NHL but the talent is 100% there. He's also without a doubt their best player.
