Following an extremely disappointing loss after the best regular season in NHL history, the Boston Bruins are reportedly looking to shake things up to make another Stanley Cup bid for next season.

According to new reports from Jimmy Murphy, the Bruins will be targeting Oilers' star forward and former first overall draft pick, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

Along with an attempt to pry away RNH from the Oilers, the Bruins have made Taylor Hall and Matt Gryzelcyk available for trade. Both teams have had incredibly successful regular seasons in recent years but haven't finalized their success with a Stanley Cup, so a trade of this caliber could act as a catalyst for both teams.

Watch for teams looking to make major shake ups to their rosters in the coming weeks as we approach the built-in deadlines of the draft and free agency.
