This team is getting plenty of shot volume. But they lack finish. They aren't putting their grade A chances into the back of the net. Phillips is making the most of his chances. He's just what this team needs right now.
Look at the goal Caufield scored tonight. I think Phillips can score those types of goals.

I have no idea if he actually gets called up or not. But I'd wager you if he does he makes zero difference. Not even cause I dont think he's a player. But he's not a dump and chase player. Look at how the whole team is being instructed to play and tell me you think A) Sutter would deploy him properly and B) hes going to be able to go into those tough areas and get the results.
This is why I say, people wanting Phillips to be called up because we arent skilled enough should really want a coaching change. We added a 100+ point winger and a Stanley Cup winning center who led the league in scoring for much of last year until an injury. Unless you think those two suddenly forgot how to play I'm not sure how to justify thinking a guy whos putting points up in the A will come in and make the difference when those guys arent producing either.
