Trade: Expected Landing Destinations For Boston Bruins Forward Trent Frederic
The Boston Bruins have Joe Sacco to thank for turning the team around and giving them a chance to stay in the playoff hunt. But one player who has struggled despite the turnaround, is forward Trent Frederic, could he find a new home soon?
Frederic was expected to continue the progression that the team saw last year. Under Jim Montgomery, the forward posted 40 points, a career year for the former Bruins 1st-round pick.
And now, he's essentially ghosted the team and has only scored 11 points( 5 G, 6 A) in 39 games.
With the team failing to extend the pending free-agent in 2025, what could the Bruins get in return for Frederic?
Frederic's trade value is declining as his struggles continue. In saying this, so is the likelihood of an extension with Boston. Frederic works as a change of scenery candidate or as a potential depth option for a contending team.
While there will be a market for Frederic's skills, we could see him land in the Western Conference, as contending teams could steal him for depth talent on the roster.
Minnesota Wild
One of those teams could be the Minnesota Wild, who were one of the best teams in December with a 20-6-4 record last month.
Now, with Kirill Kaprizov out they will have to fight to maintain their position in the Central Division.
Ottawa Senators
With the Bruins' recent trade history with the Ottawa Senators, they could swap assets with the Sens for Frederic. The team sent Linus Ullmark there in the summer, and with his help, they hold the final wild-card spot in the East.
The Senators could use Frederic's physicality and edge to bolster the lineup, especially if they pair him with rat, Nick Cousins.
