They may very well move on from Phillips in the off season too.
Pelletier still has a lot of runway (and the best chances).
Next season, a new crop including Kerins and Francis should be in the system.

As an aside, I never got the Pettersen love. I happened to see a few of his games in college and thought he was so perimeter focused and not all that fast. Great hands though.
The NHL is frikking hard. If your game is all about offense, you better be lighting up whatever level you're currently at to an extreme.
Maybe that applies to Phillips too.
For the vast majority of NHLers, you also need size, reach, speed and strength.
