Phillips isn't a fourth liner. He shouldn't be one. He wouldn't play well in that role.
The Flames have to make a call on Rooney vs third and fourth line or veteran AHL guys as a comparison.
It's Phillips vs forward #9 at all times.
If there's an injury and he gets recalled then he has to be better than #9
But that floor has been rising of late with the return of Mangiapane, better play from Dube and the pop from Ruzicka.
