After the tough departures of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, the Bruins had a huge void to fill at the center's position. Other players rose up in Boston, but rumors suggest that the organization could look for a top player to help them have a deep playoff round.
Two names have been linked to the team.
Scott Laughton, currently playing in Philadelphia, has 10 points this season.
He still has two years left on his $3M AAV contract with the Flyers, and if the team keeps winning games, they won't move him. However, if the Bruins make them an offer they can't refuse, it could happen.
Elias Lindholm, like many other free agents, could be out of Calgary before the trade deadline. The Flames have been struggling once again this year, and a rebuild seems to be their only solution.
In Boston, either of these players could help them achieve their ultimate goal of winning the Stanley Cup.
