If we lose Phillips, I am going to be so salty about that
I’m guessing Phillips will test the market first before making decision to come back to Calgary 🤞
Hopefully Phillips comes back. I really want to see the younger guys get a shot next year, even if it’s a down year. He’s earned a shot.
Like sure this is objectively a good mindset for them but I want entertainment so trade someone now pls
I’d really like Phillips to get a proper chance instead of 15 minutes over two games with one of his linemates being limestone hands looch.I don’t think he’ll be a superstar but he needs an actual chance before he just ups and leaves
I would completely understand if Phillips left to go to a team like Arizona or Chicago. He needs to be put in a position where he isn’t replaced by an aging veteran when things get a little rough.
Needs to be some trades if people want Phillips to come back. Right now we have 10 top 9 forwards with 10/28/49/29/91/88/11/20/Sherangovich/Coronato
If I’m Phillips I ain’t trusting the Flames not to fuck me over again. I’m guessing he’ll only sign for a 1-way.
What about the rest of our UFA to be? Aren’t Zadorav and Taniv worth chatting with too?
Philips had a shit playoffs and got pushed around. Buddy needs to be like Marty and just fucking put on the muscle and strength in the legs and core and maybe he has a chance.
There is a reason why Pelletier stepped over Philips he is a better 200 ft player and is a bull dog on the puck.
Phillips thinks he is a goal scorer but doesn’t have edges like johhny had so he always gets rubbed off the puck
