Sure.
But you're trying to argue that an AHL call-up deserves to supplant someone from the top 9. You have simply not presented anything that would justify that.
Phillips is going to get a chance to play. If he shows he can handle the NHL, and is an improvement on one or more of the 4th liners, he'll get more opportunity. And then it goes from there.
Your arguments that the top line has only been okay - on a team that has been winning - is a) highly debatable, and b) completely irrelevant.
