Phillips is expected to announce his retirement from Ottawa on Thursday, Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen reports.
ANALYSIS
With the combination of age -- Phillips is 38 years old -- and lingering back issues, the 1996 No. 1 pick will hang up his skates to finish out a 17-year career with the team that called his name on draft day. The blueliner's last game played marked a milestone, as Phillips suited up for the most contests in Ottawa's history with 1,179 career outings. The veteran finished his time in the NHL with 71 goals and 217 assists.

Phillips, the first overall draft pick of the 1996 NHL Entry Draft, has been with the Sens his entire career, but the end appears to be near. A back injury limited him to just 36 games in 2014-15, and it’s questionable that he'll be able to uphold durability in his age-37 season. Even if he manages to stay on the ice this season, Phillips has averaged a meek and mild 16.2 points in the last five full NHL campaigns, making his upside rather limited.
