It’s no secret to anyone following the National Hockey League, that the Boston Bruins need some help whether it is coming from the outside or looking internally.

After losing both Patrice Bergeron, and David Krejci, to retirement in the offseason the Bruins had a gaping hole in their top two line centerman positions, so Boston was left in a predicament: is the the Bruins have good enough or do they want to be more than good enough and acquire a piece from the outside?

Boston head coach Tim Montgomery sat down with the Boston Herald’s Steve Montgomery, and effectively said, that he would have confidence in Pavel Zacha, and Charlie Coyle to head up those two lines if they were to not find any help outside.

If you ask me, that is a vote of confidence for both players, but also a lack of confidence in what is existing at the same time.

With rumors swirling that they are interested in a variety of players like Elias Lindholm who would require a trade to get them to Boston, here are three players that the Bruins can trade, three players they should be cautious about trading, and three players that are untouchable.
