Signing Phillips probably means they will ship a young defenceman out which is real unfortunate. I expect that with 8 defencemen signed for next season that BM will trade one of them & the most likely candidate IMO is the PMD Wiercioch.
I could see a package deal that brings Chris Stewart to Ottawa this summer to replace Michalek who IMO will leave for more money than will be offered him in Ottawa. Hopefully, Condra will also be part of that deal.
Hemsky - Spezza - Stewart
MacArthur - Turris - Ryan
Hoffman - Zibanejad - Stone
Greening - Z. Smith - Neil/Kassian
Methot - Karlsson
Cowen - Ceci
Phillips - Gryba/Boroweicki
Anderson - Lehner
You can't do an imaginary trade for Stewart that only sees Condra and Weir leaving. If you don't realize by now, nobody wants those players, especially Tim Murray.
Teams want players like we gave up in the Ryan trade. Buffalo has already stated they don't really want more draft picks, so who are you willing to give up?
