While it's a move some had been calling for, it was still a surprise when the Boston Bruins placed David Backes on waivers.�
Backes and his $6million cap hit cleared waivers and he's now been assigned to Providence.�
Will he report?
That's a question that we'll only find out the answer in a couple of weeks.�
NBC Sport's Joe Haggerty reports that Backes isn't ready to make that decision yet.�
Haggerty writes that Backes will wait until after the All-Star Break and Bruins' bye week to make the decision.�
After the Bruins play the Golden Knights on Tuesday, they won't play again until January 31.�
If Backes decides not to report, there's a small chance he could agree to mutually terminate his contract. While Backes carries a $6million cap hit, he's only getting an actual $1million in salary this year but will make $3million in actual salary next year.�
