With multiple holes that need to be filled out before the season begins, the Boston Bruins have two choices to fill them in.

The first option is that the Bruins look internally, and fill in the cracks with younger, less experienced players and have a less productive season than their previous one.

The second option is that they look externally at who other teams are willing to move, and make a trade for a veteran piece that can, not only help them immediately, but long term.

According to reports, Boston may be leaning towards the latter.
