From Almost Out The Door To New Contract Talk For Chris Phillips

from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, Making $3.5 million this season, Phillips will have to take less money to stay. Neither side has discussed numbers and that could be part of Friday?s discussion.

?We?ve indicated that there?s a strong possibility (Phillips can stay) if Chris is inclined to do so,? said Murray. ?The only question I asked: If it doesn?t fit financially for him or if what we?re doing here going younger (doesn?t work), give us an answer early enough.?

Murray said he will not force Phillips to waive his no-movement clause. But sources say there?s plenty of interest with Boston, Montreal, Vancouver and San Jose all looking for blue-line help.
