Defenseman- 2006-07 Chris Phillips
As far as defensemen goes for the starting lineup, it's important to have one defenseman that plays more offense and one that plays more defense than the other. For the defensive side, Chris Phillips would be the best selection. Of all of Phillips' 17 seasons, his 2006-07 season would be the best to choose from.
From an offensive standpoint, Phillips' 26 points in 2006-07 was the most in a single season for his career. Phillips recorded a career-high 18 assists and also recorded eight goals, but Phillips' presence was known heavily on defense.
Phillips had the best +/- rating of his career with a +36 as well. Phillips would play on the penalty kill and have the ability to block shots, clear pucks out, play physical and bring leadership.
Phillips' defense was so important at all times for the Senators, and it helped them reach the 2007 Stanley Cup Finals. Phillips will forever be a Senators legend, and his 2006-07 season is a reason why he's a Senators legend.
