A move to Ottawa will hopefully give him an opportunity to get more ice time. San Jose Chris Phillips - 37 years old DFD 1 year $2.5M A former first overall pick, many expected Phillips to end his career in Ottawa but he will atleast play out this season on the west coast. Bringing nearly 1200 games of experience and almost 300 playoff games to this defensive group will definitely help this team. San Jose already has a lot of experience in its lineup and adding more can only help. Roster Moves After the trade San Jose announced they are sending Matt Tennyson to the AHL where the young DMan can get more ice time. The team also called up Noah Rod to be an extra forward

Interesting move, hopefully those picks will yield some talent
