INSIDER: Bruins have narrowed down position of need at the deadline
Don Sweeney and Co. have turned their attention elsewhere, as their reported interest, Bo Horvat, was traded to the Islanders.
And according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Boston has narrowed down its trade needs to a specific position.
�'I really think they're going to do something on left D.''
�'Boston is also believed to be in the left-defense market. Would not be surprised if they've checked in on Jakob Chychrun and Vladislav Gavrikov, among others.''

Gavrikov would cost less for the Bruins to acquire than Chychrun would. However, as Friedman continued, Don Sweeney also doesn't want to mess with the strong team chemistry that has been built.
''They've got special chemistry, and tampering with that can be dangerous. But this is an absolute go-for-it year because you don't know how long the group will be together.''
The Bruins at 39-7-5 going into the All-Star Break are in a very comfortable position. Sweeney should - but doesn't necessarily have to - go all out for this team to make a run.
Depth trades could be huge for Boston. Extra scoring in the bottom six? Another Derek Forbort like defenseman?
