Sutter always likes to differ attention from his team or player if it's a tough situation. I think with Sutter's comments he's trying to lower the "saviour" aspect that some fans have that Phillips will magically solve the problems.

I'm sure that if Matthew Phillips continues to play this way, he'll get his shot. Then it's up to him. It's also more than likely that if Phillips comes up, he's going to struggle for a while. Eat bread didn't have much success when he first arrived either and I think a good part of the commentaries is to deflect a bit and ease pressure a bit when he does come up.
