With Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara still sidelined because of injury, the Boston Bruins won't be making any immediate moves.�

However both players have started skating by themselves and a return is on the horizon, which means general manager Don�Sweeney is likely getting busy working the phone lines.�

A huge rumor started to circulate last night involving a blockbuster deal that would make some Bruins' fans happy while making others extremely upset.�

The chatter of a deal involving Milan Lucic coming back to the Boston Bruins has surfaced again, however this time the return going the other way is surprising.�

David Backes could be sent away to Edmonton for Lucic, Backes enjoyed some great success playing for new Oilers head coach Ken�Hitchcock while the duo were in St. Louis.�

Backes would give the Oilers some much needed depth up front, while Lucic would bring some grit the Bruins need while possibly find his scoring touch again.�

Both players carry a $6million cap hit, with the 34 year old Backes having two less years on his contract.

Would you be willing to make this trade?
