Trent Frederic

Frederic has appeared in just 17 games at the NHL level over the last two years, and he's still in search of his first point for the Bruins. A first-round pick in 2016, it's likely Frederic makes an impact at some point, but the Bruins have plenty of center depth heading into 2020-21. Barring injuries higher up the depth chart, Frederic will likely settle for a taxi-squad or minor-league job this season. He produced eight goals and 32 points with AHL Providence in 59 games last year -- the scoring potential is there, but he's more of a defensive forward with little hope of more than a bottom-six role in the near future.

Frederic failed to record a point in 15 NHL games last season, but did manage to log 14 goals and 25 points in 55 AHL contests. The 2016 first-rounder could emerge as a solid two-way power forward down the road, but for now, the 6-foot-2, 203-pounder is off the fantasy radar given his lack of production at the top level. The 21-year-old has a chance to earn a spot with the big club out of training camp, but he'll need to display improved instincts on offense in order for that to happen.

Following a strong two-year stint at the University of Wisconsin, Frederic logged five goals and eight points in 13 regular-season games down the stretch for AHL Providence in 2018. The 20-year-old is a big-bodied center who some within the B's organization believe could develop into a Jordan Staal-type down the road. The Bruins raised some eyebrows when they selected Frederic 29th overall in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, but since then, he's displayed a developing scoring touch that could translate into a top-six role in Boston. In the short term, Frederic should have a chance to compete for the team's No. 3 center job previously handled by Riley Nash.
