I have voted for Phillips that last few rounds. My head tells me it's the wrong pick. He doesn't have the bloated numbers that Mangiapane had in the AHL and he is tiny even compared to guys like Mangiapane and Gaudreau. A guy that size normally needs to put up some pretty crazy numbers to fit on an NHL roster.
But I have liked his game when I have seen him. Maybe he can fill a Paul Byron role in the NHL?
