These two Bruins forwards are reportedly generating trade interest.

The Boston Bruins will be a team to watch at the 2025 NHL trade deadline. Their trade deadline plan is unclear at this point, as they are currently fighting for a playoff spot in a tight Eastern Conference. 

With the Bruins being in a tough spot, clubs are keeping an eye on some of their pending unrestricted free agents. According to NHL insider David Pagnotta, teams have expressed interest in Bruins forwards Trent Frederic and Justin Brazeau.

"Trent Frederic has generated a ton of interest for a good portion of the season," Pagnotta said. "And Brazeau recently as well. They had contract talks with, I believe, both in December. It's been relatively mild since. So they're going to kind of see where they are at before they make a decision on selling either of those two players."

Frederic, 26, is in the final season of his contract and can become a free agent on July 1. The 2016 first-round pick has struggled this season, as he has eight goals, seven assists, and a minus-11 rating in 53 games. 

However, it makes sense that teams are interested in Frederic even though he is having a down year. His tenacity makes him a good player for the playoffs, and he has had past offensive success, as demonstrated by his 18 goals and 40 points last season.

Brazeau, 27, is also a pending UFA on the Bruins. The 6-foot-6 winger notably has an easily affordable $775,000, so it is unsurprising that clubs reportedly have him on their radar. 

Brazeau has 10 goals, 10 assists, 81 hits, and a minus-5 rating in 52 games this season. Overall, he has shown that he can provide secondary scoring and grit, so he could be a nice addition to a contender's bottom six if the Bruins elect to shop him. 

It will be interesting to see what the Bruins decide to do with these two at the deadline from here.
