I do think you have to be careful with young pros ... so Pelletier patience makes sense.
I wouldn't mind seeing Phillips get a chance ... I felt Gawdin looked behind the game early in the year (and last year) when it came to processing speed, and Ruzicka was definitely hurting in a pace of play standpoint.
But Phillips is quick, and a dog on a bone, he's way undersized, but I'd love to see him get a look and see if he could add some offensive zone time to the bottom six.
