Sutter's system has always been reward players who play his system with ice team and line combo positioning.
I also want Phillips but I fully expect Lucic on the 2nd line until Sutter thinks he needs another wake up call.
Lucic is actually pretty good at zone entry with his size, the problem is the play dies on his stick. The biggest problem with the Huberdeau-Lindholm-Toffoli line was they had nobody to do zone entry (Dube is doing that now). Last year the zone entry player was Gaudreau.
