Boston Bruins Head Coach Joe Sacco Breaks The Silence On The Shocking Trade Involving Trent Frederic

Yesterday, the Boston Bruins made their first big move in selling at the NHL trade deadline by trading Trent Frederic and Max Jones to the Edmonton Oilers in a big three-team trade that also involved the New Jersey Devils.

Many fans were not happy with the return that the Boston Bruins ended up getting from the Edmonton Oilers, but Frederic's injury definitely played a part in this.

Here is the full trade details:

Trading players is always tough, not just for the player, but for their teammates and coaching staff who are always with them.

For Frederic this was different. Trent Frederic has spent his entire 7-year NHL career with the Boston Bruins organization since being drafted by them in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Being traded for the first time by a team he's played with his entire career is not going to be easy for him, but at the end of the day this is a business.

All of the Bruins players had an emotional reaction to the Frederic trade, and now Joe Sacco has spoken out on it as well.

Joe Sacco met with the media today to talk about last night's loss when the Frederic trade was brought up, and Sacco stated that he enjoyed all the time he spent with Freddy, and that he was a great kid, and wished him nothing but the best with the Oilers.

The Boston Bruins are expected to make several more trades before the NHL trade deadline comes to an end on Friday.
