Similar WHL numbers, better AHL numbers, why not give him an actual look.
I think he would fit in great on that 4th line with Lucic and Bennett. He plays with a little edge for a small guy, and is great with the puck on his stick. Think they would work well together.

Because unlike the Oilers, we have good depth and Phillips will have to force his way onto the team (as it should be). The Oilers just throw their prospects into the deep end because there's no one better to take the spot, and the prospect either learns to swim, or sinks pretty quickly. Then when they sink, the Oilers just discard them.
