The Edmonton Oilers have locked in Trent Frederic for the long haul.
The team signed the forward to an eight-year contract extension worth $30.8 million on Friday, with an average annual value coming in at $3.85 million.
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman first reported the deal.
The Oilers acquired Frederic at this year’s NHL trade deadline from the Boston Bruins as part of a three-team trade that included the New Jersey Devils. The Oilers gave up a 2025 second-round pick, a 2026 fourth-round pick, defenceman Max Wanner and forward Shane LaChance.
LaChance was sent to the Devils in order to have New Jersey retain 50 per cent of Frederic’s salary.
Frederic was injured when he was acquired, and only ended up playing in one regular-season game for the Oilers after re-aggravating his ankle injury. He returned for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, where he appeared in all 22 games, registering one goal and three assists.
