Full trade details for shocking Trent Frederic deal

The Edmonton Oilers got Trent Frederic just days before the deadline as they try to ramp up for a postseason push. They're second in the Pacific Division and could make a push for more now.

The deal did involve Frederic changing hands, though. At first, he and half of his salary went to the New Jersey Devils. The Devils got Petr Hauser, an unsigned draft choice from Boston, in exchange for their part.

The Devils then flipped Frederic to Edmonton in exchange for another unsigned draft choice: Shane Lachance. The bulk of the deal comes in what the Bruins earned for their part.

Boston sent Max Jones and Hauser to Edmonton in exchange for Max Wanner, the St. Louis Blues' 2025 second-round pick (which was owned by Edmonton) and a 2026 fourth-round pick (Edmonton's own pick this time).

Frederic is currently not healthy. He's been dealing with an upper-body injury and is week-to-week. This could signify that Edmonton isn't fully confident in Evander Kane's return.

Kane, also a forward like Frederic, has been out all season but was expected to debut before the playoffs. That said, trade rumors swirled, and the Oilers were reportedly listening to offers to see if they could get anything for a player they haven't needed yet.

The move for another forward, one with eight goals and 15 points in 57 games this year, could indicate that they're addressing the front with Frederic and not waiting for Kane. That doesn't necessarily mean Kane will be traded, but it could imply that Edmonton wants even more help up front.

Frederic is a former first-round pick. He was picked in the first round, 29th overall, by the Bruins in 2016. Since then, the forward has 55 goals and 109 points in 337 career outings in the NHL.
