With August 1st looming, all eyes are fixed on Boston Bruins forward Trent Frederic, who is preparing for his highly-anticipated arbitration hearing.
According to the reliable NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, the stakes are sky-high as Frederic has put forward a one-year contract demand of $2.9 million. In response, the Bruins have countered with a two-year offer at $2.8 million, averaging $1.4 million per year.
On the other side of the rink, Trent Frederic is basking in the glory of his remarkable breakout campaign during the 2022-23 season, and he's now eager to capitalize on his success with a well-deserved raise.
