Description
I understand the clamoring for Phillips as he's coming off the AHL player of the month and leading the league in points but a call up right now isn't the right thing to do is it? After Salim Valji asked Sutter point-blank about it today he essentially got told that as it stands Phillips doesn't perform at an NHL level.

https://twitter.com/salimvalji/status/1598752486663553024?s=20&t=_czEQzqMpkuOcSlgxgosuQ

If that's the case then why would there be a call up? If he comes up and the Jack Adams winning coach that is on his 3rd decade in the league just happens to be right then what is the move with him? He sits in the press box or goes on waivers and the wannabe talking heads like WinColumn, Gould and Adler on Flames twitter have another collective meltdown.

Pelletier or Zary make more sense to slide into the left wing on the third line no? Waiver exempt, sheltered by Backlund and Coleman, better option than Ruzicka or Lucic.

Other AHL league leaders in points over the past few years and where they are now:

24yo - Matthew Phillips - 1.444 points per game - 25% shooting percentage

27yo - Andrew Poturalski - 1.423 - 14.2% - Career AHL
29yo - T.J. Tynan - 1.581 - 15.4% - Career AHL
26yo - Sam Anas - 1.111 - 12.6% - Career AHL
26yo - Reid Boucher - 1.264 - 13.7% - 9 min/night in Vancouver
23yo - Carter Verhaeghe - 1.079 - 16.7% - Middle 6 NHL
21yo - Jeremy Bracco - 1.053 - 17.1% - KHL

Verhaege is the outlier here, not the norm. Scoring in the AHL is great but let's not get tunnel vision on one thing. There are obviously holes in Phillips game or other teams would have grabbed him on waivers at the start of the year. 2021-22 he had 68 points but was only +14 on a team that had the least goals against and one of the best goal differentials in the entire league. It doesn't take a real deep look to find where the holes in his game are. The ask from Flames fans right now is to call up an undersized, below average defensive player with an unsustainable shooting percentage to fix all their problems.


Sorry if this post isn't appropriate here and should be elsewhere, just trying out a new forum as opposed to the horrid Flames Twitter cult.

Your missing nothing other than you have Darryl Sutter as a coach

I don't personally feel like there's a ton of harm in giving him a handful of games at some point if the need is there, but you hit the nail on the head with those undersized high-scoring AHLers...it *rarely* translates to the NHL, and I appreciate the fact that you're not trying to blow him up into this ubertalented potential superstar. It's also interesting because if even if you do the top 5 from each of those years, they're *typically* similar players (Aside from the rare 20 year old getting his feet wet before his NHL debut)

By the way, welcome to Capfriendly!

I don't think you read anything, I agree with Sutter in not calling him up. He's defensively not good, shooting at an unsustainable rate and clearly didn't get the eyes of any other teams after a solid pre season.

That's along the lines of what I am thinking too. A lot of good undersized forwards never amount to anything. I think he needs to play at some point but for a waivers eligible player with a through the roof shooting percentage, is that point with nearly 60 games left in the season where if he's called up he will either need to play, sit in the press box or go on waiver again? Feels like an after the deadline call up at the earliest.

Thank you!

You are right. There are problems with Phillips game and they have often been the main thing preventing him from translating success to the NHL level. Is height a factor? Sure but so is defensive awareness. It's very hard to justify promoting a guy who isn't strong defensively to the NHL.

We've seen what Phillips can do offensively for a few years now the problem is his improvement in other areas. I agree that Pelletier or Zary should be given a look as they are waiver exempt.
