Bruins, Oilers, Devils Complete Trent Frederic Trade

The Boston Bruins have traded forward Trent Frederic to the Edmonton Oilers in a multi-team deal that also involved the New Jersey Devils. Frederic, who has struggled this season with eight goals and a minus-14 rating, is expected to help the Oilers as they push for a playoff run, though he is currently out with an injury. In return, the Bruins received a 2025 second-round pick, a 2026 fourth-round pick, and defenseman Max Wanner from Edmonton, while the Devils retained part of Frederic's salary and acquired the rights to prospect Shane LaChance. This trade marks a significant step in the Bruins' retooling process as they look to reshape their roster after a disappointing season. The Oilers, currently second in the Pacific Division, aim to bolster their lineup with Frederic's physical style of play. The deal reflects a strategic shift for all teams involved as they prepare for the impending NHL playoffs.
