Playing with confidence and offensive flair he hasn’t shown at his time in the NHL previously. Engaged and working hard too.
Honestly think guys like Phillips, Pelletier, Zary, and maybe Schwindt could show the same if given a top 9 role with good line mates in the future.

I was just saying this to a friend. I hate how we always try to develop players using the 4th line. If you give Phillips a chance he needs to be on the top 2 lines or he's not going to be useful. Ruzicka isn't a fourth line type of player so of course he's not going to be great in that role.
