I don't think there is a conspiracy of any kind. Of course it will depend on whether he is good enough or not. And part of that is being able to handle the physicality of the NHL.
This isn't complicated. There is no conspiracy, or bias against smaller players. Hockey is a physical game - pushing through that physicality, in order to succeed, is part of the process. That is all there is to it. Every team wants to ice the best team possible. If Phillips can prove he is part of that solution, he'll play.
