Without guys like Phillips you're Edmonton. That's about as good as I can summarize it.
That was just a power move from a determined forward with speed and skill. It happens.
Pretty sure Edmonton didn't have Phillips in their lineup last night so that argument is shot. Phillips also got burned pretty badly last night. For one year I see the value. We now have 7 defencemen on one-ways next year, and our D is terrible. Sorry I just don't see how extending a regressing player helps our defence become any better. Unless we take a healthy run at Ehrhoff or Edler -or- trade a defenceman today this was a bad signing.
