Why would NJD do this as a contender? Moronic

 

[bobholly39]

Maybe McDavid going the other way?

 

[AvatarAang]

the oilers proceed to give Frederic a NTC so he doesn’t feel left out with the rest of their forwards

 

[LivingRentFree]

Why lmao? Frederic is terrible and addresses zero needs for the oilers?

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Maybe McDavid going the other way?

Only if Edmonton is adding

 

[Zirakzigil]

Beat @MMC nice work.

Edmonton still needs to rework their defence and probably goaltending. But hey, MOAR FORWARDS!

 

[Stealth JD]

Let this open the floodgates of trades…

Free asset by weaponizing their new post-Hughes-injury cap space.

Why not?

 

[Summer Rose]

So the Oilers desperately need help on defense and/or a new goaltender, so they go out and trade for a middle six winger?

 

[super6646]

Jersey is retaining? Let’s see more details, but are they starting to give up the season? Seems strange to facilitate trades with cap space.

 

[maxbme]

trent frederic is the man, best of luck to him

Why would NJD do this as a contender? Moronic

Yeah not like they're swimming in cap space either. I'm assuming management knows they aren't going to make any major moves so they're just stocking up assets?

 

[Siludin]

Why would NJD do this as a contender? Moronic

They know Jack Hughes is out for the year? Good use of deadline space if you aren't adding.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Free asset by weaponizing their new post-Hughes-injury cap space.

Why not?

Maybe get a real asset in the new post-Hughed-injury cap space

Here are the full details:

To Edmonton: Max Jones, Trent Frederic (50%), Petr Hauser
To Boston: Max Wanner, 2025 STL 2nd round pick (was owned by EDM), 2026 EDM 4th round pick
To New Jersey: Shane LaChance

Why lmao? Frederic is terrible and addresses zero needs for the oilers?

wouldn't go as far as zero, at least Trent hits from time to time, the Oilers overall toughness is that of a spring time snowflake

 

[tarheelhockey]

Am I crazy or isn’t there a rule against trading players who are on IR?

 

[kanucks25]

Why would NJD do this as a contender? Moronic

If they don't somebody else will.

If they feel they don't need the cap space they might as well take the asset.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I like this pickup for Oilers

Understandably throwing in the towel

AFAIK as long as the receiving team is aware of the details of the injury it's fine.

 

[Three On Zero]

I’m just shocked they targeted someone under the age of 30
