BOSTON — Two weeks ago team president Cam Neely said the Bruins would view the approaching trade deadline down two paths. Based on how they played from then until March 7, the team would make plans to be buyers and plans to be sellers and then decide which was the more prudent path.

The Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers could each use at least another forward before the NHL trade deadline. What are their main and secondary needs?

The Boston Bruins may be currently in a playoff position, but it's difficult to see where they could land come March. That doesn't mean they'll rule out augmenting the lineup to stay competitive.
