How could anyone mind Phillips on the 4th line. The alternative was probably never getting an NHL opportunity and moving to Europe at the end of the year.
It gives the 4th line a different kind of player. Right now this is probably the least effective 4th line this team has iced since the McGrattan-Westgarth days. The most productive thing it does is flip the puck out and go for a change. They are directly causing goals against with bad giveaways and getting hemmed in, even if it doesn't happen when they are on the ice they tilt the ice against us. This has been going on going back to the 7 game losing streak. If Phillips is this year's version of 2018 Mangiapane that's a win to me. If he's not effective who cares. Then welcome back Rooney or Zohorna or probably Walker Duehr.
