Let's not go nuts. As much as I'd love to see Phillips play with Johnny for a game or two, I actually think he'd be a much better stylistic fit next to Lucic and Monahan or Backlund and Coleman. Putting him on the first line right away would be asking a bit much, I think.

Phillips is a really skilled player but he's also a bit of a grinder, which is saying something given his size. He's one of Stockton's most tenacious players.

Also, big no to putting Monahan back on the fourth line. He doesn't belong there at all.
