Phillips is literally the smallest player to have played a single NHL game this season, and it was Sutter that played him. It's not just that Phillips is small, it's that he is a complete size outlier. It's not a Flames thing or Sutter thing that players like that don't get a lot of rope. It's a hockey thing.

As for Pelletier, he is small, but not outlandishly small like Phillips. He is roughly the same size as successful NHLers like Bratt, Konecny, Granlund, Kane, Keller, Garland, Point, and Kucherov for example. Try finding comparable and currently successful players to Phillips, who are 5'7" and 160 lbs.

Pelletier will be given a chance.
