The defending Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers made their first big move ahead of the NHL trade deadline by acquiring hard-nosed forward Trent Frederic from the Boston Bruins. Edmonton sent a 2025 second- and a 2026 fourth-round pick and prospect Max Wanner to Boston for the 6-foot-3, 220-pound Frederic, with the Bruins retaining half of his $2.3 million salary. The New Jersey Devils retained another quarter of it and received the rights to unsigned draft pick Shane Lachance from the Oilers in return. Trading Frederic is the first sell-off by the Bruins, who are among the teams vying for the final couple of playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.
