The only reason I've advocated for Phillips for so long is because the Flames have been hellbent against giving him even one meaningful look despite his outstanding production and play. If they'd tried him and he didn't work out, the outlook would be very different.

Philips makes the most sense to me for an extended call up. He is a right shot, is not a first year pro, and in a results driven business he deserves a look (especially if Sutter doesn’t want to give Pelletier a look). I wonder if his size is the reason they have not called him up? I would way rather give him a look rather than Pitlick, or Ritchie in the top 6
