I would be interested to see this for a couple of games, hard to predict where Phillips would work best but when your team is struggling to score goals, bringing up a player who leads the league in goals might be a good idea.
Huberdeau - Lindholm - Phillips
Dube - Kadri - toffoli
Mang - Backlund - Coleman
Phillips being easy to knock off the puck should not matter as much on that line as Huberdeau has very strong board play and Lindholm is great on the forecheck. Phillips is fantastic off the rush and would help those two play faster and attack faster, I also think Phillips would be able to sneak behind coverage and receive Huberdeau passes. It could also not work at all but I would be interested to try it out.
