Phillips would've been a UFA regardless. He was offered a contract by the Flames, he chose to sign elsewhere. He is a UFA again at the end of the season. At most we missed out on 1 season of team control.
That said, I'm happy for Phillips and want to see him succeed. Even with Ovi and Backstrom, I remain skeptical about his line's ability to retrieve pucks, and play without the puck.
