Yeesh Lanny. I don’t think people in here are thinking that Phillips is gonna come in and be Johnny 2.0. It’s just there’s obviously been a shift in the NHL over the past 20 years that has allowed smaller forwards to be able to thrive in the league. Even at his size Phillips has skills that todays NHL thrives on (speed and puck carrying ability) and his play in the AHL has shown that he should be given a shot at the NHL level. He could very well be a career AHLer, but we’re never gonna know that unless he’s given a chance in the NHL
