This is where it gets interesting to me.

You could make a case for any of Zavgorodniy, Koumontzis, Sveningsson, Nikolaev, & Pospisil here, or even any of Ruzicka, Tuulola, Yelesin, or Gawdin (same points AHL rookie season as Phillips) in this stretch IMO.

Think I'm going to go Pospisil just because his combination of size, toughness, and skill is something that really isn't matched in the organization. And his skating is pretty good for a big guy too (USHL top prospect testing - https://www.ushl.com/news_article/show/873336)

Once he figured out the USHL he dominated:

Had 7 points in his first 23 games in the league after adjusting coming over from the Czech U19 league.

Since then he finished 17/18 with 30 points in his last 26 games, and had 63 points in 44 games in his Draft+1 season.

93 points in 70 games in that stretch is really impressive in the USHL. And still had over 100 PIMs and a 12 game suspension (for trying to fight a fan lol) during that 18-19 season.
