The Edmonton Oilers acquired forwards Trent Frederic and Max Jones and the rights to unsigned forward Petr Hauser on Tuesday in a three-team trade with the New Jersey Devils and Boston Bruins.
The Bruins sent Frederic to the Devils for the rights to Hauser. The Devils then traded Frederic to the Oilers for unsigned draft pick Shane Lachance, and the Bruins sent Hauser and Jones to Edmonton in exchange for defenseman Max Wanner and two draft picks.
The Bruins will retain 50 percent of Frederic's salary, allowing the Oilers to get the 27-year-old on a pro-rated $575,000 cap hit for the rest of the season.
Just prior to the trade announcement, Frederic was placed on IR and listed as week-to-week with a lower-body injury that's kept him out of the past three games.
In return, the Bruins will get the St. Louis Blues' second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft (which Edmonton owns) and the Oilers' fourth-round pick in the 2026 draft.
A pending unrestricted free agent, Frederic has 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) and a minus-14 rating in 57 games this season. He had a career season in 2023-24, when he totaled 40 points (18 goals, 22 assists) and a plus-9 rating in 82 games.
He has totaled 109 points (55 goals, 54 assists) and a plus-20 rating in 337 career games since being selected by the Bruins with the 29th overall pick of the 2016 NHL Draft.
Jones, 27, played in seven games with Boston this season but spent most of his time with Providence of the American Hockey League, scoring 13 goals and adding eight assists. A first-round pick of Anaheim in 2016, Jones has 31 goals and 31 assists in 265 games with the Ducks (2018-24) and Bruins (2024-25).
Hauser, 21, was a fifth-round draft pick by the Devils in the 2022 NHL Draft, and spent this season in Czechia's top league, notching a goal and an assist with HC Plzen and KC Vitkovice.
In Wanner, the Bruins get a 6-foot-3, 184-pound defensive prospect. Wanner, 21, was a seventh-round pick by the Oilers in the 2021 NHL Draft.
