The Hershey Bears just got themselves a good player.

Good for him if it’s a better situation. Gut feel is he was never going to crack the big club’s lineup.

Completely bungled this prospect. Inexcusable.

Darn it. It’s a weird situation for fans because I want Phillips to have great success. But that would also make me feel sad because the Flames would’ve lost a player without ever knowing what he was.

This is why Conroy not doing anything yesterday was a good day for the Flames, not a bad day.

Right now most prospects that are NHL ready will be on the team

Weird. Haven't seen any Phillips signing listed on Puckpedia or Capfriendly yet

No tweets about this either

Oh yeah, I’ve loved the Flames’ approach to FA so far.

Seven training camps. Multiple head coaches to impress and earn a roster spot. Never showed up when it mattered. That's on the player.

Can't say I'm surprised. Nor does it matter to me. Don't think he's a guy who moves the needle for us (or anyone else).

Even at 30-40 pt, Phillips is not very attractive

And I doubt he can score that much in the NHL

Likely has a Czarnik-like career.

Mind boggling how some have just assumed this guy was an NHLer all along and (for some unknown reason) the Flames just held him back even when trying to improve their team. Including the new head coach who had him in the AHL.

Its just really odd.

Huska didn't have him in the AHL. MacLean and Love did.

Love has now apparently helped bring him to Washington.
