The Boston Bruins continue to rip through the NHL with some incredible play, despite going 8-0-2 in their last 10 games the team still has it's holes.�
24 year old Matt�Grzelcyk has been doing a formidable job on the left side of the team's last pairing on defense, however there's some concern whether he can keep it up throughout the season and into the playoffs.�
When looking at TSN's latest Trade Bait board, Bruins analyst Joe Haggerty pointed out and circled Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Ian Cole as realistic target and a player who fits the criteria for the majority of the team's needs.�
Cole is set to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of season and carries a $2.1million cap hit this year.�
The defenseman has been a healthy scratch at times this season, many believe it's because Penguins GM Jim Rutherford doesn't want him to get injured with the team needing a boost through trade.�
Cole has seven points in 36 games so far this season and 84 points in 374 games during his NHL career.�
Do you think he would be a good fit on the team's last pairing?
