I voted Wyttenbach over him simply because the Flames took Wyttenbach earlier. Could have been a strategic play at the draft table, but I have to trust the order they were taken in a little bit.
To point out my hypocrisy here, though, it's pretty interesting that Calgary's third round pick (Philips) from this last draft really hasn't got much attention from us. He's got the size, physicality and skating but didn't put up any points so I've been putting a lot of other players in front of him. If he makes it though, he'll likely be one of my favourite players, as I love his punishing style of play.

Phillips has plenty to work on, no question- but he has some pretty amazing physical gifts, for sure.
