Report: Bruins working on multiple fronts ahead of deadline

Jayne Kamin-Oncea / USA TODAY Sports

They're apparently hunkering down in Boston.

The Bruins are expected to be major players before Monday's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline, and TSN's Darren's Dreger and Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman have the latest on what's reportedly happening in Boston:

The Bruins sit in third place in the Atlantic Division, and have to decide whether to sell Loui Eriksson, and/or add defensive help in Dan Hamhuis - who has a no-trade clause - and Kris Russell.

Eriksson's the top offensive player available on the trade market, if the Bruins decide to deal him, and he's looking for a long-term deal, as he's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

Hamhuis wants to leave Vancouver as a rental, try and win a Stanley Cup, and head back home to play for the Canucks. He's been open about his desire to not uproot his family.

Russell's unrestricted on July 1, as well.
