Boston Bruins: There is still hope for ditching the David Backes contract
The Boston Bruins are stuck with a contract that will be hard to rid itself of, namely that of David Backes; a former 50-point per year guy whose production has fallen off a cliff, leading to him being a healthy scratch for periods of the recent Stanley Cup Final run.
If we’ve seen anything in recent days though, it is that big contracts, even ones with non-trade clauses and cap hits far beyond the player’s present value, can be moved. The Boston Bruins, should they want to rid themselves of the David Backes deal, just need to find the right suitor.
