Tonight a new report has linked the Edmonton Oilers to a trade that would land them a forward from the Boston Bruins.

With the deadline just a few days away the Edmonton Oilers need to begin making offers to other teams so negotiations have time to play out. One new report has confirmed that the Oilers are exploring a potential trade with the Boston Bruins. <h3>Report Connects The Oilers To A Talented Center From The Bruins</h3> In a new post on X, a source close to Puck Empire has revealed that the Edmonton Oilers are looking into the possibility of trading for Trent Frederic. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/puckempire/status/1896343791889682561'> </a></blockquote></div> Frederic is a fantastic depth forward who would likely be the solidified third line center. He brings speed and physicality along with an intensity and competitiveness that has been lacking in the Oilers lineup as of late. The only problem with Frederic is that he is currently week-to-week with an injury and could take time before he debuts. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/jimmathesonnhl/status/1896269077590720633'> </a></blockquote></div> If the Edmonton Oilers are comfortable with the medical side of things Frederic would be the perfect addition for the team at the deadline. With the Bruins looking to sell off players this season Frederic likely wouldn't be that expensive to trade for either. Stan Bowman and the Oilers front office have to make a move and Frederic is one of the better players they are likely going to be able to go after. As the deadline approaches, we will continue to keep an eye out for the Oilers trade targets and Stan Bowman's overall plans to get the team back on track.
