Phillips is an easy guy to root for and I get why a lot of people are upset. I also hope he does well in Washington and rips it up.
In my opinion he is a AAAA player, probably not going to be top 9 player in the NHL, but is probably too good for the AHL. I think you will start to see more teams following Seattle’s template of having more skill on the 4th line, so he may get more opportunities.
