Edit - quick note too on his size as a lot of people are mentioning how much smaller he is than Johnny; Phillips is listed as 5’6 141 lbs on HDB ( Johnny is 5’9 157 lbs on HDB)
So I could see where people think that’s a considerable difference but Phillips is listed as 5’7 155 lbs on his WHL player page now so u can see the progress he’s making both in his skill and how he’s grown a little more into his smaller frame. He put up 50 pims last year too so he’s not afraid to stand up for himself. |
I know Dube is pretty much a lock for the World Juniors but I have never got the impression that Phillips was a favourite to make the team. Though I haven't been following it too closely.
