Phillips might not be uber skilled, but he made a number of smart plays with the puck in transition tonight. He moves well, but he has to keep working on his boots, as he has a bit of trouble with faster opponents. Lots to be excited about, and he will be able to show more of what he can do with Green Bay of the USHL this year; players of Phillips' ilk can sometimes be buried on the NTDP team.
