Well that raises some interesting questions.

Does management not think Phillips deserved to be put on the active roster and utilized by Darryl?

Or are they legitimately trying to hide him from Seattle? Would Seattle select a small guy who has never even played a game in the NHL? I don't really think that the Flames are that worried about Seattle selecting him but it is interesting that they won't make him available to Sutter. I also don't see why Sutter would ask to have Phillips put on the roster either; he's probably never seen him play at all.

I do think that Sutter likes and respects Conroy, and Phillips is kind of his baby. So I don't see why Sutter would just shutdown an opportunity for Phillips, if he were given that chance.
