The Boston Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney are expected to be busy before Monday's deadline.�
We've heard plenty of names that could be coming to Boston, but we haven't heard too much about who could be on their way.�
Apparently Sweeney might be able to pull off what was believed to be impossible.�
According to Andy Strickland of Fox Sports Midwest, the Bruins are expected to move forward David Backes before the deadline.�
Backes was placed on waivers earlier this year and hasn't reported to the Providence Bruins after clearing, instead Backes has been hoping for a trade.�
This would be a major home run for Sweeney because even while buried in the minors, Backes carries a $4.925million cap hit to the NHL roster out of his full $6million.�
Backes also carries a modified no trade clause, but at this point you'd have to think Backes would accept a trade almost anywhere just to play.�
