After already making a deal with the Bruins to acquire Trent Frederic, Nugent-Bowman wonders if the Oilers should go back to Boston and do more trade business. Nugent-Bowman goes on to add that the Oilers haven’t found out yet if John Klingberg can handle the second-pair minutes on the right side. As such, an upgrade is needed.

The Athletic has live coverage of the 2025 NHL trade deadline. EDMONTON — Amid talk of the Edmonton Oilers being a “fragile team,” according to their coach, something must change to prevent a once-promising season from slipping away.

With the acquisition of Trent Frederic and the Evander Kane situation still hanging over their heads, it's probably safe to assume the Edmonton Oilers' forward corps is set.

When Don Sweeney met with the media on Feb. 23 to talk about the health of Hampus Lindholm and Charlie McAvoy, the Bruins general manager used the opportunity to soften the ground a little bit to prepare people for what was likely coming not far down the road.

The Bruins announced on Tuesday afternoon that Trent Frederic and Max Jones have been traded to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick, a 2026 fourth-round pick, and defenseman Max Wanner.

TSN: Chris Johnston said that the Boston Bruins have a lot going on, and defenseman Brandon Carlo could be one player they moved. They’ve got some pending UFA and should be active.
