Gotta walk before you can run. Can see him moving up sometime during the game.

Call ups basically always end up on the fourth line. It worked well for Mangiapani and Ruzicka. Last call up I remember starting much higher was Sven Baertshi. People got to calm down. Phillips is where he should be.

Tree forced is hand and he is unwillingly complying. No way Sutter changed his tune that much from his interview earlier this week

Lucic is the only thing I’m not liking about that line. Lewis is good for PK, Veteran and playing more defensively to let Phillips focus on the offense.
Lucic just sucks lately.

I feel like Sutter sees the game better than we do so I do trust his coaching. I think starting a guy on the fourth line to make sure he can handle the speed and intensity of the game before increasing his minutes is the right move, if he is good enough he will look good, gotta make sure he isn’t going to be handing out give aways and making bad plays first and foremost. There are other ways to contribute besides the score sheet. If he proves to be a non liability on the ice he will move up, that’s my thoughts anyway.

Replace Looch with Ritchie, and that line is half decent

Maybe he’ll get some PP2 minutes

I’m as happy about the call up as anyone but let’s not forget he was basically invisible in preseason. I think he belongs on the NHL squad but it’s waaay too early to shuffle around lines for a rookie

I don’t have a problem with him on the fourth line. I would prefer Lucic in the press box though.

Zohorna recalled. I’m thinking revamped 4th line

Huberdeau has been useless 5 on 5 and showed success in Florida with their reclamation projects last season.
But Sutter hates small players unless they’re shooting 100 points a game so

People be like: WhY pHiLlips 4th LiNe?? You really want to break up lines while the team is playing well? Then there will just be more complaining about why the lines were juggled. Can’t please any of you 🤣. I’m sure if the Flames get a lead, we will see Phillips take some reps with other linemates.
