The Boston Bruins are currently free-falling in the Atlantic Division after the latest injury that will keep David Krejci out for more than a month. The Florida Panthers are close on their heels. If they want to keep their spot in the playoffs, they need to make a move. Here are five players who could help them get over the hump.

Keith Yandle could really help with a scoring strike from the blue line. He is on a team going nowhere in Phoenix. He needs to be given the chance to win with a good franchise. If the price is right, the Bruins should pull the trigger on Yandle.

4. Cam Atkinson

Cam Atkinson is one of the most intriguing trade prospects on today's market. He may cost a good amount, thanks to all the teams asking about him, but the Bruins might have to pay that amount to add this piece.

3. Erik Cole

Erik Cole has been the name most associated with the Bruins. It seems like a mortal lock that he could be in gold and black in very little time.

2. Chris Stewart

Chris Stewart is another name that is associated with the Bruins lately. It's weird since they are intra-division rivals. Stewart might be the piece that costs the least, but he could provide a huge boost to a team on the cusp of the playoffs.

This move may be the most bold, but it could also make the most sense. The Bruins are currently 21st in the league in scoring. Nail Yakupov may not be a scoring threat as of now, but with a change of scenery, he could turn into the superstar who comes with a No. 1 pick. At this point, the Edmonton Oilers might take a low-ball offer just to get him to a new city.

Bruins Fans Have Brutal NSFW Brawl on Subway

Warning: Video contains large amounts of adult language that may be offensive to some viewers. Listen at your own risk.

The tall dude told the little guy not to touch his coat again multiple times and he didn’t listen. Maybe if the Bruins were playing a little better on the ice, these guys would be talking about the game instead of beating each other up.
