Adding Depth
The Boston Bruins could be active at the trade deadline, and while they'd fall under the category of buyers, it will likely be for roster depth. Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe takes a look at GM Peter Chiarelli's deadline moves from last year and suggests a number of players the team could be targeting this time around.

In the Race?
On Blue Breakfast on TSN Radio 1050 Darren Dreger said he expects trade talk to start slow while teams figure out if they will be buyers or sellers heading up to the trade deadline. One name Dreger said that could be moved as early as next week is Carolina Hurricanes' forward Tuomo Ruutu.
Steve Simmons noted the Leafs' number of defencemen as an asset and speculated they could move one of them for help up front.
