The Senators are getting a lot of calls about veteran defenseman Chris Phillips, who could be traded by the deadline. Phillips, 32, is in the final year of his current contract and can become an unrestricted free agent this July. "It's not easy," Phillips told the Ottawa Sun. "I realize that it's part of the game. I'm sure tomorrow I'll probably be answering the same questions. But when the questions are done, and you step on the ice, you forget about all that stuff. We'll see how everything plays out, but yeah, it's difficult, with the number of games I have played with this uniform on, and only this one." Phillips has a no-trade clause.
