NextImg:Bruins, Trent Frederic agree to deal, avoid arbitration

While awaiting the arbitration award for goalie Jeremy Swayman, the Bruins came to terms with restricted free agent Trent Frederic, who’d been scheduled for a Tuesday arbitration hearing of his own.

Frederic was signed to a two-year deal worth an average annual value of $2.3 million, according to multiple reports. In an exchange of pre-arbitration numbers, Frederic’s camp was seeking $2.9 million while the B’s were at $1.4 million.

Frederic will be earning more than twice his salary from last season – $1.05 million – on the strength of his breakout 17-goal season in 2022-23 while skating primarily at right wing with center Charlie Coyle and left wing Taylor Hall. The contract leaves the B’s with approximately $3.1 million in salary cap space.

With Hall traded to Chicago and Coyle expected to bump up in the lineup with the retirement Patrice Bergeron and the expected departure of David Krejci, it’s not clear where Frederic will slot in the lineup for the upcoming season. GM Don Sweeney has floated the idea of Frederic filling the depth at center.

The award for Swayman, meanwhile, is due sometime on Tuesday after the arbitration hearing on Sunday. Swayman was seeking $4.8 million while the B’s were offering $2 million.
