Have you watched him in the AHL? or watched his tiny stint in the NHL?
I want to believe the Phillips hype, but as the season went on I had the opportunity to watch a lot more Wranglers games, and… I don’t know, he didn’t look particularly impressive. He’s good for the AHL, but he never seemed particularly fast or strong to me, and definitely didn’t have anything that really stood out.
Watching Wolf in the AHL, it’s clear you’re watching someone on another level. I didn’t get that from Phillips.
