With the confetti put away, the Christmas tree coming down and the long grind of the NHL season resuming for its second half, attention in Boston is once again turning towards the way the Bruins can fix their problems and gain themselves a chance of challenging down the stretch this season.
And there are rumours now that, contrary to focusing on the glaring problems with defense, Don Sweeney and Cam Neely may be preparing a move for a forward.
Kirk Luedeke, among others, has hinted (in a discussion on Reddit) that Gabriel Landeskog of the struggling Colorado Avalanche is arousing serious interest among the Boston front office as they look for a player to spark the Bruins offence back into life.
