Confirmed with Link: Edmonton trades for Trent Frederic and Max Jones and rights to Petr Hauser for Shane Lachance/Max Wanner, St. Louis' 2nd pick in `25, Edm 4th in `26

Be disappointed if Hauser's nickname isn't "Doogie"

2nd+++ for Frederic just set the price for the market. Now everyone will be expensive

That’s being awfully pessimistic. Going from Week to week to never play a game is quite the leap

Fair enough. Most of my pessimism comes from interactions with Bruins fans after we last played them where all they could say about the guy was that he always did dumb shit that hurt the team on the ice and they couldn't wait to trade him away.

I wouldn't have much issue with the trade if the assets were less, but a 2nd round pick from this year was one of our biggest bargaining chips left after O'Reilly or Savoie. Then they threw in their 2nd best d prospect (right shot even) and a huge winger that's having a breakout season in college.

 

[Connor McConnor]

I don't love it, but I don't hate it. 550k for this guy is a great deal and it does fit an area of need. Still need to see a D man trade.

Petr Hauser is going to be a superstar.

Source: nothing but hope.

He BETTER be, lol

 

[CupofOil]

Rocking that Adam Henrique statline.

We overpaid IMO but the size!!!! types get what they want I guess.

He had 35 goals the previous 2 years and is physical. It's fine but they should really try to re-sign him and not make this a couple month rental.

2nd+++ for Frederic just set the price for the market. Now everyone will be expensive

It's not that though. It's a 2nd+ for Frederick with double retention.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Boston fans don’t have any remorse. That generally scares me. Hopefully we just didn’t pay for past performance.

They didnt have any remorse when Cassidy got fired either, so dont exactly put stock in what the mob thinks.

Wanner is really getting overrated in this thread

 

[guymez]

Petr Hauser

 

[MoontoScott]

Another way of looking at this is that this ultimately became

Wanner, Lachance, Broberg and a 4th round pick for a couple weeks of Frederic, an AHL winger and a 5th round prospect that has displayed literally zero offense at the senior level after a few seasons..

I don't know much about Frederic but the prospect cupboard just got a little more barren--glad they didn't trade O'Reilly (at least for now).

Lachance sounded like a good successor to Kane but maybe they couldn't sign him.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Love this addition if he's healthy for the playoffs. Also hope we can extend him. Him and a healthy Kane in the playoffs could change our dynamic drastically.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Wanner is really getting overrated in this thread

It's essentially a 2nd for Frederick and a 4th for the retention. But somehow a bunch of warm bodies makes this a 2nd+++

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Wanner is really getting overrated in this thread

so are 2nd rounders

 

[CupofOil]

So. Still 4 reasaonably valuable assets gone for a guy that might not even play a game for the team, an AHL player and a prospect that has 1 goal in his last 3 seasons? This is a ridiculous overpay.

Which valuable assets? It was a mid to late 2nd round pick and a couple of longshot prospects, what was the 4th one?

 

[Canovin]

Wanner is really getting overrated in this thread

Was never the same after whatever happened after the suspension who nobody knows

 

[FlameChampion]

Players like this will have their production drop off when there are literally no drivers on the team. I think the multi year track record of good play before the team collapsed this year is a better indicator of what we're getting.

We don’t have drivers on the third line either.

If he could push Henrique to wing that would be nice. But I don’t think skating is his strong suit so he’s probably more of a winger. I don’t mind the players but the team has more pressing holes. We will see what they do.

I am assuming he will play in the regular season and Chris Johnson is looking for clicks.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Frederic is one of the most overrated forwards on HF it feels like and management is overrating him too. That’s an insane amount to spend on a guy who is injured and has played awful this year.

 

[Arpeggio]

Kind of feel like this means it really is money in money out. Not sure why you'd pay for extra retention on Frederic if that was the case (considering that if they are going into LTIR, they have quite a bit of space).

 

[K1984]

Wanner is really getting overrated in this thread

Like clockwork.

The odds of anything we traded, including the 2nd, becoming anything more than a bit level NHL player are incredibly low.

You know damn well some dumb GM will gift Vegas a a top 6 player with retention for a 3rd round pick. Edmonton always overpays.

 

[oXo Cube]

He had 35 goals the previous 2 years and is physical. It's fine but they should really try to re-sign him and not make this a couple month rental.

Yes, if they can turn him into a medium term Foegele replacement I'm completely on board.

I don't dislike the player at all on his own merits.

 

[CycloneSweep]

so are 2nd rounders

So is Frederic.

 

[Canovin]

Bowman probably forgot how LTIR works hence the retentions lol

 

[McFlyingV]

it's no rumour...its true! I like Fredric, even though he's injured
Lachance has a good chance to make the NHL so that stinks

good bottom 6 add

In what world does Lachance have a good chance to make the NHL? His numbers are underwhelming and his skating is downright terrible at this point.

I think he has an outside chance to be a regular NHLer.
