The Boston Bruins have a couple players who could potentially be moved before Friday’s 3 p.m. ET NHL trade deadline, and one of them is Trent Frederic.
The 27-year-old forward is in the final year of his contract and able to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer. If the Bruins aren’t able to work out an extension with Frederic in the coming days, it would make sense to trade him and not risk him leaving for nothing in free agency.

What’s the latest on Frederic’s status on the trade market?
