And that's the difference between him and Johnny. Johnny had similar question marks after being drafted - but once we got a look at him at dev camps - you started to think that maybe there was something there.
For the most part I haven't seen the same thing with Philips.
Still - a great home run swing for where he was picked and it is far better that he continues to excel at his current level than not.
But I don't hold a great deal of optimism that he has an NHL future.
