Yes, I do want Phillips to take the Looch minutes. Lucic is averaging 10:50 a night. When Mangiapane broke into the NHL down the stretch in 2018–19, he averaged 10:33 — and it was perfect deployment for him.
If Phillips helps make the fourth line good, you're laughing. Stylistically, Phillips–Lewis–Ritchie isn't far off at all from Mangiapane–Ryan–Hathaway.
