Confirmed with Link: Frederic & Max Jones traded to Oilers for 2nd , 4th and Max Wanner

[jmon1313]

On paper and power forwards traits, Frederic should have been a cult hero in Boston.

But he could never keep his motor running consistently and he disappeared a lot when the games were bigger.

I don't think his time here was a complete waste, I just wish he played with more fire and gusto. Good luck to you, Freddy!

Not sure where the agitation went in his game. Seemed to have lost his motor when he lost it.

What’s the cap situation like with Lindholm done for this season and this trade

 

[Saxon Eric]

@Blowfish will be happy

Sweeney traded for a Canadian kid. How about that?
And apparently today is my 20th anniversary on HFBoards LOL. I don't know if I like that too much.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Where’s the guy who said the Bruins would get at least a first for Frederic and proceeded to laugh at anyone who suggested the return would be less?

 

[Sheppy]

Frederic was always getting a 2nd round pick, lol.

 

[PB37]

Kinda wish that Max Wanner had more of a German sounding last name if you get my drift

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Who was that idiot saying our GM is botching the deadline? Oh wait it was me!

Maybe today is one of the two days a week Sweeney works Lou?

 

[FinnBear]

Solid return for a player set to leave at the end of the year. Good trade for us.

 

[Boston Bandit]

He is funny as hell. He will make a good Bruin. I hope he makes the big club eventually.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Good work, and I emphasize work, from Sweeney. It must have taken a lot to pull together the moving parts here. He got good value for TF. Edit: this also signals a sell off as they moved a good prospect in Lachance presumably to get a mid second rounder.

 

[The National]

The 2nd is a good return imo.

Bruins trade Trent Frederic, Max Jones for Oilers defenseman Max Wanner, picks - The Boston Globe

Frederic had his most productive season in 2023-24 with 18 goals and 22 assists.

www.bostonglobe.com

The Bruins made their first move of trade deadline season on Tuesday, dealing forwards Trent Frederic and Max Jones to the Oilers.

Boston announced that it had acquired Edmonton prospect Max Wanner, a second-round pick in this year’s draft, and a fourth-round selection in 2026.

Frederic, who has become something of a fan favorite as a bottom-six grinder with a willingness to drop the gloves, had his most productive season in 2023-24 with 18 goals and 22 assists. Those numbers have dipped amid a difficult season for the Bruins, with Frederic posting just 15 points almost three-quarters of the way through the season.
Jones has played just seven games for Boston this season, largely spending his time with AHL Providence.

Wanner, Edmonton’s seventh-round pick in 2021, has yet to see the ice for the Oilers. The 21-year-old defenseman has posted 19 points over 90 games with the AHL Bakersfield Condors over the last two seasons.

In facilitating the trade, the Devils received Boston University captain Shane Lachance.

Shocked they got a 4th never mind a low 2nd

 

[NDiesel]

Frederic was always getting a 2nd round pick, lol.

I was holding out hope that a gm would be stupid enough to overpay with a late 1st....but a 2nd++ is gravy

 

[BigGoalBrad]

That's a late second but still a good move.

If we can dump Carlo and Coyle before the end of the week that is excellent business.

Its not a late second, its St Louis's previously acquired second.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Any trade involving a player other than Patrnak leaving is good.

 

[lopey]

Freddy couldn’t handle the increased expectations from his breakout year. He will be another jag in Edmonton. He might pan out there

 

[chrisab123]

I think they did very well here.

They did well for sure. I’m just hoping they have a new GM making the picks.

 

[yazmybaby]

Said it in the roster thread but that's an overpayment by the Oilers.

Why you give up a prospect with something resembling upside + a 2nd rounder for BIG FRED baffles me. Dude f***ing stinks. Which idiot is in charge of that or--

*Stan Bowman*

Oh. Makes sense. Carry on!

Mckeen's scouting website had this to say about Wanner


Sounds eerily similar to Brandon Carlo.

Maybe Carlo is next to be traded and Wanner will take his spot?

 

[SPV]

Good return, wish Freddy the best.

Is it unrealistic to hope Wanner could be a 3rd pair guy like McQuaid? I don’t know anything about him, but sounds like a big guy with bite in his game based off what we’ve seen.

 

[Number8]

Its not a late second, its St Louis's previously acquired second.

Exactly. That's not brutal. Should be in low 40's.

 

[stungun54]

The Purge... this is a good thing. Now where are Coyle and Zacha being shipped to?
