You're leading the AHL in scoring and you've gotten 18 minutes over two games in the NHL - he wasn't going to sign in Calgary mid-season even if it was offered.

There was no incentive for Phillips to sign at all. He could wait until July 1st and become an UFA and pick the contract that provided the greatest opportunity. He did and he not only got a pay day but he also got it with a team where he has an advocate. Perfect situation for him.
