Sources: Bruins have limited options with under-contract Mitchell Miller

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.
