At the upcoming Trade Deadline, the Boston Bruins should be as all in as an NHL team has ever been.

With the March 3rd Deadline quickly approaching, Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff shared the potential acquisitions for general manager Don Sweeney and the Bruins. The insider has two players from the Vancouver Canucks as being the best potential fits.

As per Seravalli:

Bo Horvat, Vancouver Canucks

The belief is the Bruins' interest in Horvat dates back to last offseason, long before Horvat's magical contract year with the Canucks. You can see the obvious fit, even if it'd be painful for Canucks fans to watch their captain in Beantown. Horvat could not only help put the Bruins over the top this season and in the playoffs, but then be the link to the future as someone that Bergeron and Krejci can hand the keys to after they ride off in the sunset with Stanley.

Horvat is one of the top available forwards at this year's deadline, and being a centre, could be a solution for this season and the future.

He also named a depth defenseman as need for Boston:

Luke Schenn, Vancouver Canucks

Ah, yes, the one-stop shopping trade that we referenced. If moving on from Carlo, reportedly a player that the Canucks might covet, then Schenn would make perfect sense. He has Stanley Cup pedigree, he is on an inexpensive and expiring contract, and he would provide some additional bite and stability on the back end. He can also play both sides of the blueline which is a nice bonus.

Number one priority for the Bruins will be to sign David Pastrnak to an extension, and hopefully, it's completed by then.
