Fantasy Analysis
It was also the 1,000th game of his career, a nice milestone for the tough blue-liner. He scored just one goal all of last season, so this is quite the offensive outburst by Chris Phillips' standards. (Updated 02/09/2012).
05/11/2012 11:53 Oilers president on Ryan Murray: 'He's the top player'
Could the Edmonton Oilers actually take Ryan Murray with the No. 1 overall pick in the June draft? Oilers president Kevin Lowe called him "the top player" on Thursday.
Last season was undoubtedly Phillips' worst of his career. Playing in all 82 games, the former first overall draft pick had one goal, eight assists, and a team-worst minus-35 rating. While Phillips has averaged around 20 points a season over his long career, a return to that level at this stage in his career shouldn't be expected. Fantasy-wise, five goals and 10 assists this season is likely his ceiling. He doesn't play the power play and will be matched up against other teams' top forward lines, so his plus-minus rating might once again be on the negative side, especially on a young, rebuilding team in Ottawa.
