Wonderful news!!!!

I think this will play a big role in terms of keeping Phillips here for a while longer.  :beer toast:

probably its around 2.6 a year, which is about right,  hopefully not for to much more than that.
its about skill,grit,determination and goaltending but most of all its about heart.

I'm thinking $8-9M for the three years.

Happy about the signing, though I hope it doesn't affect his play in any way. After all, he's not "playing for a contract" anymore.

I'm with P-Dog, however I couldn't be happier to have him sticking around.

Averages out to a 2.5M cap hit.

Good Grief - he's making more than Joltin'Joe Corvo ! (hee hee)

An excellent signing - strange timing though - just before the playoffs and all !

They should have worked their asses off to sign and announce both at the same time.  They better get Phillips back, or I will be very disappointed.

Seems like a lot. Not that he doesn't deserve it, because he really is a defencemen. By definition, he should be considered for Norris trophy. He may not score like a Lidstrom or Neidermeyer, but he plays his position well.

If he is getting that much, Phillips is likely to get at least $1 million more per year. And with all the others left to resign, it's unlikely Ottawa will have much cap room left. And unofrtunately Comrie looks like he will be gone now. If it were up to me I'd sell Gerber and Schaefer to save Comrie.

Preissing is probably gone too, as a result.

I don't think there is a need to, as I do not think its an either/or situation like it was with Chara and Redden. I think the only issue is the question of how much Phillips wants to test free agency waters.

I believe in an article it was mentioned that the Sens and his agent will be in negotiations until the playoffs start, once they start they want to put all focus on the game at hand, putting the talks on hold. Sounds good to me to put all your concentration into the current games.

Well, the cap did go up this year so they should be able to resign Comrie and Priessing, maybe even without getting rid of Gerber (which they should) and Schaefer.  Who knows though, I'm not a math wiz and I don't recall what our cap space is at the moment.
