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 ways away from that.

Just to clarify, Nolan Foote is a winger while Cal Foote is the defenseman who is draft eligible this year. Nolan isn't until 2019 if you can believe it.
Teams seemed sleepy tonight probably not used to Tuesday games. Phillips didn't look like a 46-goal guy but will get another look at him on Saturday.
Phillips will likely play another year or even 2 in junior, with his size he may stay as a 20 if he isn't ready to play against men.
Also had a good viewing on Dillon Dube tonight. Another prospect to get excited about.
