Contract Status: Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Phil “The Thrill” is rumored to get traded this offseason. Or then again, maybe not. Our very good, back-to-back Stanley Cup champion and literal point-per-game player is riding out the rumors and shooting down trade offers that aren’t in his best interest thanks to his extensive no-movement clause on his current $6.
