Edmonton Oilers make a significant deal to bring Trent Frederic to the NHL .

The Edmonton Oilers brought in a rugged forward from the Boston Bruins for picks and prospect Shane LaChance .

The Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli and Cult of Hockey's Bruce McCurdy discuss the deal.

There’s no indication if Trent Frederic will be healthy enough to play before the playoffs.

Frederic is a solid two -way bottom- six forward that can forecheck, kill penalties, and even produce at a decent rate.

The price is somewhat steep, especially if Frederic doesn't re-sign, and I really hope Wanner isn’t Kesselring 2.0 .

The Edmonton Oilers traded Shane Lachance , Max Wanner , a 2nd and a 4th for pending UFA Trent Frederic .

Frederic is a pain in the ass to play against and has some skill.

Holloway , Foegele , McLeod , Broberg ca n’t believe they are gone.
