Sure it likely won't happen, but it's something that should seriously be considered if any team has significant belief in Phillips potential combined with ridiculous cap space, because in that scenario money/Phillips worth doesn't matter (I.e. Corey Perry's $4M contract).
Free young asset.

I doubt any NHL team considers Philips a "good quality young" player, much less Chicago, who just drafted about 10 guys they likely consider better assets than Phillips.
He's likely a very good AHL player.
But I bet his future lies in Europe.
