Bruins Could Trade Prospect At Deadline.
The Boston Bruins will be buyers at the deadline as they make another push for the Stanley Cup.�
While there's been plenty of speculation on who might be brought in, they'll likely be somebody going the other way and the Bruins might lose a prospect.�
According to Corey Pronman of�The Athletic, the Bruins could be shipping Trent Frederic out of town.�
The Bruins 2016 first round pick hasn't really been able to solidify himself a spot in the NHL roster and has mostly spent time in the AHL over the last couple of years.�
The 22 year old currently has 26 points in 47 games so far this year for the Providence Bruins.�
He's signed through the 2020-21 season before he becomes RFA.�
Here's what Pronman had to say about Frederic:
"Boston is a buyer that lacks an obvious prospect as a trade chip unless they want to part with Jack Studnicka, which I think is highly unlikely, but Frederic's name comes up every so often in my discussions with scouts as a player who could draw interest. Even the optimists on Frederic realize his upside is a bottom six forward. He's got some skill and speed and can play at both ends of the rink and could be a useful fourth-line forward, I think."
Would you be disappointed to see Frederic go?
