The Boston Bruins and general manager Don�Sweeney don't have too many contract headaches to deal with this summer but aren't in the ideal cap situation either.�

There's been some recent chatter of a possible David Backes buyout.�

The 35 year old has two years left on his deal that carries a $6million cap hit per season.�

Backes watched Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals against his former team from the press box as a healthy scratch and you can't imagine he was too happy about.�

The Bruins haven't been too happy with Backes performance over the last season either.�

However it sounds like the two sides will still try and have to figure something out.�

John Shannon of Sportsnet reports that a buyout between the two sides is "unlikely" according to his sources.�
