With Tanev out, I didn't think Mackey looked great either. I actually thought that kid Solovyov outplayed Mackey in the preseason.
In regards to Phillips, he wasn't bad in preseason, he never got a true opportunity to play with NHL players. It's crazy that we've been missing a RW for so many years and no matter what we don't try Phillips on there for a couple games.
Come next year when we need to do cap gymnastics maybe some young guys get an opportunity.
