Oilers Acquire Trent Frederic in Three-Team Trade with Bruins and Devils

Edmonton bolsters its roster ahead of the NHL trade deadline, adding physical forward Frederic despite his current injury status.

The Edmonton Oilers acquired Trent Frederic, Max Jones, and the rights to Petr Hauser in a three-team trade involving the Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils.
Boston receives defensive prospect Max Wanner, a 2025 second-round pick, and a 2026 fourth-round pick in exchange for Frederic and Jones.
The Devils facilitated the trade by retaining 50% of Frederic's salary and received unsigned Oilers prospect Shane Lachance in return.
Frederic, a pending unrestricted free agent, is currently on injured reserve with a lower-body injury and is considered week-to-week.
The trade positions Edmonton to strengthen its depth and physicality as it prepares for another potential playoff run.
