So essentially Backes will not be reporting to the PBruins until at least the deadline. He will, with the Bruins permission, skate on his own while Sweeney tries to find a trade for him. Shannon thinks if Sweeney can't find a trade Backes will report to the AHL. Either that or get suspended without pay I assume.
I can't imagine Sweeney is willing to give up a first to dump him right now. Sweeney would be much more inclined to use the first for a deadline add than just to dump Backes. He would probably be more willing to give up a first at the trade if we still have one than now. Not sure what else could sweeten the pot enough for someone to take him. Any teams willing to take on dead cap have a proposal?
