If Fletch sees Larsson as a center, I think those two could be 2/3rds of shutdown dynamite.
Phillips is real close, for me, as well. I view his as a potential Joe Pavelski for us. He's got so many people that overlook every one of his bits of upside by saying he's a "bad skater" or a "weak skater". When he's got so many other things going for him.

Phillips was hard not to vote for. Like Bulmer, he was an unexpectedly late cut for the big club last year. No one ever even considered him to have a shot, but he lasted a lot longer than even his biggest fans would suggest. He then went back to the Q, showed he wasn't just a product of Huberdeau, and now at the prospect scrimmages showed he can put away the dipsy-doodle that won't translate and play a 200ft game.
He still has the biggest bust chance of our "big name" prospects, but I am a believer.
