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.

I’m aware that his size is the biggest thing to overcome. But my thing is that you’ll never truly know unless you give him a fair shot. He very well may be a for life AHLer and nothing more. But I don’t think 2 NHL games with limited ice time was enough to truly show if he can succeed in the NHL or not. We’ll see what happens with him. I don’t think he’s signing back and I’m sure another franchise will give him more of a shot at the NHL level
