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.

in that case Juuso valimaki and others would call them idiots
and Philips next season
it's due diligence .... if you're that sure of your evaluative ability that you can't possibly be wrong then your ego is too big for your own good
I'd be very wary if Flames brass are that sure of themselves that they can't risk a two week look-see on a player that requires no waivers
Sutter and his overplayed grinders deserve each other, as well as the inevitable 10th place finish he is headed for if he is this stubborn
