I am simply saying that your expectations are unreasonable. You are holding real NHL players accountable for the fact that Sutter has them playing a certain way. They are not all dumping it in because they aren't creative, they are dumping it in because they are being told to.
If you put Dube or Coleman in the AHL, they will instantly be among the best players in the league - they are too good for that league. I am not saying Phillips isn't good enough, I am challenging your assertion that Phillips is better than them.

Right, I see. I agree that Dube and Coleman would dominate the AHL if they were in it. I just think that Phillips offers more offensive ability that would translate to the NHL better than Dube's has, just based on the fact that I have seen him play a lot and his game would work at a higher level imo. The biggest concern to me is if Sutter will let him play his game. I would bet Phillips will be in the NHL next season, just not with the Flames if they do not give him the chance this year.
