The Boston Bruins currently sit second in the Atlantic Division with a 5-1-2 record thanks mostly to the perfection line of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak.�

It's a scary situation when it comes to secondary scoring, the team only has 22 goals so far this year which puts them in a scary situation considering the Buffalo Sabres, Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens all have over 34 goals scored.�

Secondary scoring is needed and we heard yesterday that the Bruins might grow their interest again in Ilya Kovalchuck.

However Kovalchuk carries a big cap hit at $6.25million per season through the 2020-21 season, something the Bruins might not be able to afford.

So NBC Sports' Joe Haggerty believes the team should check into somebody else.�

Jesse Puljujarvi.�

The disgruntled Oilers forward is currently without a contract as a restricted free agent and is playing overseas in Europe putting up great numbers with 13 points in 13 games.�

Haggerty belives the cost to acquire Puljujarvi besides signing a new contract would only be a top nine player and a draft pick, something the Bruins can afford.�

Do you think the Bruins should roll the dice on the 21 year old?
