The Edmonton Oilers are positioning themselves for the playoffs, acquiriung forwards Trent Frederic and Max Jones from the Boston Bruins in a multi-team trade on Tuesday.
New Jersey is the third-party facilitator of the transaction. The Devils retained 50% of Frederic's salary in the deal, sending Boston the rights to unsigned draft choice Petr Hauser and receiving unsigned draft choice Shane Lachance from Edmonton.
The Bruins subsequently traded Jones and Hauser to Edmonton for prospect Max Wanner, St. Louis' second-round pick in 2025 (belonging to Edmonton) and the Oilers' own fourth-round selection in 2026.
