I think Sutter would say that based on his experience he knows exactly what Philips would accomplish. That's what he's paid to do.
One was given a run in the NHL because of his perceived skill set. The other was not for the exact same reasons.
While their record is not perfect, their job is to access talent. And Sutter has reached the conclusion that Phillps is not going to be a viable NHL player and will walk as a UFA at season's end. And Sutter and the Flames are OK with that.
