Frederic Swapped to Oilers in 3-Team Swap
In a surprising turn of events, Trent Frederic has been traded to the Edmonton Oilers by the Boston Bruins in a multi-team deal involving the New Jersey Devils. Boston initially sent Frederic to New Jersey in exchange for forward Petr Hauser, with half of Frederic's salary retained. New Jersey then flipped Frederic to Edmonton for forward Shane Lachance, also with 50 percent of Frederic's salary retained.
Following this transaction, the Bruins proceeded to trade Hauser and Max Jones to the Oilers for defenseman Maximus Wanner, along with a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.
Frederic, nearing the end of a two-year deal with the Bruins, can become a free agent this summer. The 27-year-old forward, known for his contributions on the ice, has displayed his talent in numerous games for Boston.
Jones, who struggled to make an impact with the Bruins this season, showed promise with 21 points in AHL games. Hauser, a young prospect, has been splitting his season in various leagues, showcasing his potential.
With Edmonton positioning itself well in the Pacific Division and Boston looking to secure a playoff spot, this trade could have significant implications on both teams' fortunes.
