Phillips Resigns With Ottawa

[Phil The Thrill]

The Ottawa Senators, who have been busy trading away players during their recent rebuilding phase, kept one of their own on Sunday.

The club and defenceman Chris Phillips have agreed to a three year deal worth approximately $9.25 million.

The 32-year old defenceman has been one of the hottest names heading towards the trade deadline but will now remain in the Nation's Capital.

The stay at home defenceman has struggled this season with 5 points and a minus-25 rating.

The deal includes a no movement clause.
