Was the same during his Flames call up, despite weird fans claiming he never got a chance.He was vanilla soft in Pittsburgh.
Not a chance. He was totally ineffective and worthless at the NHL and AHL level for Washington. I don't think a worse player has suited up for us at the NHL level in a long time. At the AHL he was completely disappointing as well. Even when Hershey was hammered with injuries and he was forced into a top six role he spent half of his time laying flat on the ice cause he can't handle any sort of physical play. I wish him the best but he should probably seak employment overseas soon in a less physical league where small offensively gifted players can succeed.Still think he could pop in 10-15G or something if put in the right situation. Not sure Washington was that situation, they're a veteran heavy team that doesn't play with a lot of speed. The Avs open things up and fast break lots so he might find some more success there.
Jansen Harkins played in a lot more games last season than Phillips did in Pittsburgh. I know that was Sully decision, but both players are AHL ones only.He was vanilla soft in Pittsburgh.

Just awful, nothing about his game was great to watch and worth making a waiver claim for that the team shouldn't have tried from WBS. Just goes to show how idiotic Sullivan truly is and how dumb Kindergarten Kyle is in thinking Sullivan's idea's are brilliant.He was vanilla soft in Pittsburgh.
Hope you’re right, he’s an easy guy to root for. Has to be the smallest player in the league.Still think he could pop in 10-15G or something if put in the right situation.
