In a significant move ahead of the upcoming NHL season, the Edmonton Oilers have acquired forward Trent Frederic from the Boston Bruins in exchange for a conditional second-round draft pick in 2025. The announcement was made on Friday, marking the Oilers’ commitment to strengthening their roster ahead of their playoff ambitions. Frederic, who has been a steady contributor for the Bruins, brings an added edge to the Oilers with his physical play and scoring ability. In the previous season, Frederic recorded 15 goals and 11 assists, making him a valuable asset to Edmonton’s offense. Oilers general manager Ken Holland expressed optimism about the new addition, stating, ‘Trent is a powerful forward who can help us not only score but also bring intensity to our lineup.’ Meanwhile, the Bruins’ decision to part ways with Frederic was based on their ongoing roster adjustment strategy and the development of younger players. This trade is seen as part of a larger effort by both teams to position themselves effectively for future seasons.
