Trent Frederic had 15 points this season and scored 1 goal in 22 playoff games. Sure glad the Oilers have their priorities straight.

Puckpedia had them at 11.9m cap space before this deal, with Bouchard needing a new deal and several forwards becoming UFAs (Brown, Perry, Skinner, Kapanen). How in the world are you going to find 4m for Frederic, re-sign Bouchard AND strengthen your team? Lol.

If it is for 4 million that leaves them around 8 million to sign Bouchard and one other forward.

Have Arvidsson and his 25 points locked down next year for 4 million.

Henrique and his 25 points locked down next year for 3 million.

Not going to lie, love what they are building up there.

He cost the Oilers Maximus Wanner, a 2nd and a 4th (they also got Max Jones in the trade). They are probably trying to justify what they paid to get him.

This is galaxy brain stuff. You aren't missing anything.

The guy is replacement level and a very poor at possession without even being buried by the coaching staff.

He's mid at being mid.

Their dedication to !@#$ing up McDavid's core years is unyielding. Damn near admirable.

All that open James Neal money must have been burning a hole in their pocket.

That's more years than Frederic had assists this season.

Wow, that seems stupidly rushed to me. Guy didn't play in the regular season for them and then looked pretty mediocre all playoffs.

Oilers management: "Let's sign him to a max-term contract!!!"

This is why they never have the right depth pieces to win it all. Just panicky stupid decisions.

...and I like Frederic, but you have no clue if he's really a good fit on this team at the moment.

Wow, I'm beginning to wonder who is actually running the organization. I dislike Bowman very much, I never think he's a good GM, but I don't think he could be that stupid, could he?
