Spots are earned. If Phillips wants to crack the lineup, be one of the 12 best forwards.

"one of the 12 best forwards" is subjective though.
Last year, Ward often thought
Zac Rinaldo was one of the 12 best forwards, ahead of Jankowski, Czarnik, etc.
Heck, Czarnik was on a point streak in the top six when he got hurt, and when he gets back we waived him, yet still couldn't find his way back into a game the rest of the year.
Phillips could well be one of the twelve or even nine best forwards, and still not get a chance.
