A whole lot of opinions in this thread about a player where no NHL sample size exists to form an opinion... is there a such thing as a narcissistic fan?
Best of luck to Matty. I always contended that he could have a Cam Atkinson type career.

Atkinson already had 140+ games and 70+ points by the time he was Phillips’ age. He wasn’t still struggling to put together a good training camp.
We can call it a bridge that was burnt, but it’s just as likely Phillips wanted to be somewhere with a clean slate for himself as well.
