Bruins' Trent Frederic Avoids Arbitration, Agrees to Two-Year Deal

Frederic and the Bruins reached a two-year, $2.3 million per year contract, avoiding arbitration.
Frederic initially asked for a one-year, $2.9 million deal, while Boston countered at two years, $1.4 million annually.
The 24-year-old forward set career highs with 67 games played along with 14 goals and 22 points last season.
Despite his strong regular season, Frederic was held scoreless in the Bruins' first-round playoff loss to the Panthers.
His new contract allows Boston to retain the young forward at a reasonable rate as he continues developing.
