April 2019 – Frederic finished his first full pro season with 14 goals and 25 points through 55 AHL games, combined with a taste of NHL action in 15 scoreless contests. Trent Frederic was Boston’s 2nd choice, 29th overall, in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft . this year, after being listed at 6’2” 203 lbs.
The Badgers don’t have a lot of depth at forward, but do have a couple decent players to give him somebody to work with. Player: Trent Frederic Ranking: #2 Last Season: Providence Bruins (AHL) Stats: 59 games played | 8 goals, 24 assists | 148 penalty minutes Acquired: 2016 Draft – 1st round, 29th overall Something that the Bruins have been lacking ever since the end of the famed ‘Merlot line’ was a forward who can serve as an enforcer while also picking up the slack on offense.

He really struggles to gain zone entry because he doesn’t have the speed to make defenses uncomfortable and force them to soften gaps.Frederic makes up for this with a combination of positioning and anticipation.

On the bright side, the former first-round pick has chipped in 15 shots, 16 hits and has won 53% of his faceoffs, showing that he is capable of contributing across multiple categories, even with limited ice time.







He is projected for 2.05 fantasy points.







Overall, I think Bruins fans should be extremely pleased with how their first round pick has turned out so far. Before the draft, I said third line center with upside of a second line center, and thus far he looks like he’ll hit the high-end of that projection. Frederic projects as a future mid-line forward in the NHL but will need to continue to work on his skating to be effective.

He loves to get in on the fore check, pressuring defencemen, and throwing hits in the offensive zone.



Very good awareness and knows how to play both sides of puck.
