I think Phillips has earned himself a 6-8 game audition at the NHL level. If he doesn't get a shot with the big club this year he's probably walking in the summer anyways so... why not give him a shot?

That's literally my entire argument. We can't call them NHL ready until we've seen them play in the NHL and play well enough to stay there. We've seen Philips and Pelletier play against NHLers in preseason and they didn't show they belong here.
I'm 100% on board with calling them up and giving them another crack and showing they belong here, I'm just not willing to say they belong here until they show it.
