The Boston Bruins roster remains one to watch as management evaluates how to keep the club competitive while positioning the organization for long-term success. Boston has traditionally been willing to make aggressive moves when an opportunity arises, which makes the Bruins an interesting team to follow whenever the NHL trade market begins to heat up.

For the Bruins, the key question is not simply whether they will make a trade, but what type of move makes the most sense for the current roster. Adding scoring depth, improving lineup flexibility and maintaining enough salary-cap room for future moves could all factor into management's decisions.

Boston also has to balance the value of established NHL players against opportunities to get younger and add future assets. That could lead to trade speculation involving both potential additions and players other teams may inquire about.

As the season progresses, injuries, performance and Boston's position in the Eastern Conference standings will ultimately determine how aggressive management becomes.
