The Edmonton Oilers have acquired center Trent Frederic and forward Max Jones from the Boston Bruins in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick, a 2026 fourth-round pick, and defenseman Max Wanner. The Devils were also involved in this deal as they retained 50 percent of Frederic's salary and acquired the rights to prospect Shane Lachance. Through 57 contests in Boston, Frederic has found the back of the net eight times and added seven helpers. He has logged an impressive 155 hits with 29 blocked shots. While he has value in deeper formats that reward hits, his scoring production has dropped as he scored 17 and 18 goals in the 2022 and 2023 respectively. He will likely have a role in the Edmonton bottom-six and could be worth a look if he eventually sees time in the top-six.
Boston Bruins forward Trent Frederic (lower body) is considered week-to-week. He suffered a lower-body injury on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs and will exit the lineup on Thursday as the Bruins host the New York Islanders. The week-to-week designation means this likely will not be the only contest Frederic misses. Following a 40-point effort in 2023-24, Frederic has had a down year this term, recording 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) in 57 contests. Riley Tufte is projected to replace Frederic in the lineup, joining Matthew Poitras and Justin Brazeau on the third line. Tufte boasts only three points (two goals, one assist) in 22 career NHL appearances and is not a viable fantasy option.
Boston Bruins center Trent Frederic (undisclosed) exited Tuesday's contest against the Toronto Maple Leafs early. He logged just over five minutes of ice time. Following the contest, interim head coach Joe Sacco did not provide an update on the 27-year-old's status. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his availability leading up to their next contest on Thursday evening against the New York Islanders. If Frederic were to miss time, Justin Brazeau or Riley Tufte could rejoin the starting lineup. After scoring at least 17 goals in each of his previous two seasons, Frederic has taken a step back this season, as he has only tallied eight goals with seven helpers through 57 games. He has also held a poor -14 rating but has tallied an impressive 155 hits.
Trent Frederic Inks A New Two-Year Deal With Boston
Boston Bruins center Trent Frederic landed a new two-year contract worth $4.6 million for an AVV of $2.3 million on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration. Frederic had a breakout season in 2022-23 as he notched 17 goals, 14 assists, 120 shots on goal, and 57 penalty minutes while carrying a plus-28 rating. The 25-year-old has produced 29 goals and 54 points in 198 NHL games, all with the Bruins, who drafted him 29th overall in 2016.
Trent Frederic Will Draw Back Into Lineup For Boston
Boston Bruins centerman Trent Frederic is expected to be back in the lineup for Game 6 against the Panthers Friday. The 25-year-old forward was a healthy scratch for Boston's Game 5 loss, but he will replace Jakob Lauko in the upcoming game. He's yet to register a point in four playoff games. The forward also has 10 penalty minutes and seven shots on goal while carrying a minus-1 rating. Frederic played in 79 regular season contests recording 17 goals and 14 assists.
Boston Bruins forward Trent Frederic suffered a lower-body injury versus Florida on Saturday and his status for Sunday's clash with Carolina is questionable. The 24-year-old blocked a shot with his foot and played just 1:54 against the Panthers. Having gone scoreless in eight of the last nine games, Frederic is in the midst of a very poor spell, but he's done a very good job for the team as a depth forward, scoring 10 goals and adding eight assists in 46 outings. Joona Koppanen looks set to will in for Frederic on Sunday if he isn't healthy enough to play.
