I just don't see this happening. Not with Gaudreau, Ryan, Czarnik, and Dube ahead of him. Too many small players already. Phillips would have to step up and become a Gaudreau level scorer to get a sniff of the NHL. Seriously, where else do you play him? You can have a couple small players on your roster, and maybe one tiny player on the team. Phillips is a tiny one-way player that puts up marginal stats in the AHL. Its a massive jump to the NHL, and then a assive jump to where he could be a player on the Flames. He's just got the deck stacked against him.
