He was the best player on the farm team last year, and he just left the organization a few months ago. Not that of to track Philipps.
I do agree with other posters that him making the capitals isn't necessarily indicative that he would have made the Flames roster. Part of the problem is that the flames have lots of tenacious energy guys, who also aren't as small. I disagree with the organizations history of not giving their prospects proper paying time though. Philips, and several other prospects, should have been getting at least a cup of coffee the last couple of seasons.
