Trent Frederic: our analysis
2025-26 season: 74 GP, 4 G, 3 A, 7 PTS, -15 +/-, 11:02 TOI. WAR -0.2 (505th of 615) · PAL 36, below average.
In 2025-26, Trent Frederic, 28, posts a PAL Rating of 36 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of -0.2 ranks 505th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: defense (75, well above average), discipline (71, above average) and possession (63, above average). On the other hand, offense (1, among the weakest in the league) and shooting (12, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+1.1); his biggest cost: finishing (-5.2).
A clear step forward: his PAL went from 25 in 2024-25 to 36; his WAR, though, went from 0.3 to -0.2.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 25 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Trent Frederic's story
Growing up in St. Louis, Frederic spent his youth around former Blues players who later coached him, and he practiced multiple sports while developing a hard, physical style. Recruited from De Smet Jesuit, he joined the USA Hockey National Team Development Program in 2013 and logged games in the USHL and at international junior events before moving on to college.
Frederic committed to the Wisconsin Badgers for 2016–17 and was selected in the first round, 29th overall, by the Boston Bruins in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. He arrived at Wisconsin with impact, registering notable scoring early in his freshman year and earning Big Ten rookie honours. Named an alternate captain as a sophomore, he completed his college career after the 2017–18 season and signed a three‑year entry‑level deal with Boston.
In pro hockey he split time between the Bruins and Providence in the AHL. Frederic made his NHL debut on January 29, 2019, and over the next seasons he moved between the AHL and NHL, often deployed on bottom‑six lines and occasionally shifting from center to wing. He proved his physicality in the AHL—leading the league in penalty minutes one season—and notched his first NHL point on January 23, 2021, followed by his first goal on February 21, 2021, at the Lake Tahoe outdoor game.
Health setbacks and injuries interrupted several campaigns, but coaching changes in Boston brought a clearer role and growing confidence. A move to the right wing alongside Charlie Coyle and Taylor Hall coincided with career highs in goals and points in 2022–23 and 2023–24. On March 4, 2025, Frederic was traded to the Edmonton Oilers; he played his first game for Edmonton on April 5, 2025, scored his first goal as an Oiler on May 1, 2025, and later agreed to a long‑term extension.
A natural centre by training, Frederic's game rests on physical play, forechecking and willingness to engage in the dirty areas. He has shown the ability to adapt to wing duties, temper his aggressiveness when needed, and provide a depth scoring option while carrying out checking and possession responsibilities.
