Yea, I think that's the problem, because of Sutter's actions the Flames really needed to mend those fences by sweetening the deal and showing Phillips some faith. Giving the kid a 1-way doesn't mean he can't be sent down, it just means that he'd be paid his full salary no matter where he played. So if Phillips pooped the bed, they could have still sent him down, but I guess Murray Edwards didn't want to pay the little extra dough.
