Huska never had Phillips in the AHL
I think most people understand he's not a sure thing and his size is an issue, but the frustration for fans comes from never getting to see a home-grown local kid get an opportunity at the NHL level
Phillips couldn't have done anything more to earn an opportunity. He may never turn into an everyday NHLer but we can't know that for sure because the Flames never gave him a chance
