The Edmonton Oilers have bolstered their playoff lineup by acquiring forwards Trent Frederic and Max Jones from the Boston Bruins in a multi-team trade. New Jersey facilitated the transaction, retaining half of Frederic's salary. Although the Oilers have added Frederic, he is currently on injured reserve and week-to-week due to a lower-body injury. This trade may signal a shift for the Bruins, who could be transitioning to a selling position in anticipation of the trade deadline, especially with captain Brad Marchand also dealing with injury uncertainties.
