The Boston Bruins have limited options with Mitchell Miller, the controversial defenseman they signed Friday and cut ties with two days later.
The Bruins signed Miller, 20, to an entry-level contract with the intention of sending him to AHL Providence. He remains under contract with the team and is technically still a member of Providence.
According to NHL sources, there are a few ways to remedy this situation for Boston:
• The Bruins simply could decide to pay Miller to stay home for this season and then buy him out at the end of the year for one-third of his NHL salary.
