From Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe:

Something else has to happen, specifically along the blue line, if the Bruins are going to return to the playoffs next spring. Even with Dennis Wideman plugged back into the equation – and his pending arbitration case makes that a question – the defensive corps needs an upgrade or two, specifically to enhance the transition game, a body or two to deliver the ever-elusive first quick pass out of the zone.

The Bruins, like just about every team in the league, could use some more puck-movers on the back end. Whether the team is willing to give up the assets necessary to acquire one is another story.
