Unfortunately I don't see him succeeding with limited minutes. But like I said hopefully he can show some spunk and get a chance with more talented linemates.

If he doesn’t succeed with limited minutes he doesn’t belong in the NHL. Again, success with Sutter isn’t going to be measured by production, it’ll be measured by commitment to playing the right way. You don’t need 15 minutes a night to show that.
Ruzicka did it. Look at him now.
Based on Sutter’s comments, he knows what Phillips can do skill wise. The question is: can he overcome his size and play the right way in the NHL. He can prove that on the 4th line. Might be the best line to prove it on, honestly.
