This reminds me of the Sundin saga. Leafs fans wanted him to go and get traded to bring back some pieces and then resign in the summer. I really thought Phillips would take the trade and then come back and sign in the summer.
I applaud him though for wanting to stay in one city for his whole career. Very rare to see that these days.
