An official update has been issued on Boston Bruins forward Trent Frederic, and now an insider has revealed how it is going to affect the Boston Bruins at the upcoming March 7 NHL trade deadline.

Earlier in the week, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney held a news conference to address some of the ongoing concerns within the Bruins organization, and the trade deadline was one of them.

Sweeney seemingly admitted, without officially saying it, that the Boston Bruins are more then likely going to be sellers at the NHL trade deadline.

Boston currently sit two points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and are dealing with multiple injuries at the moment. The odds are not in the Bruins' favor to make the playoffs this year.

In their last game, the Bruins got hit with some unfortunate news as they ended up losing another key forward in Trent Frederic.

Today an official update was given of Frederic's status and it was revealed that he is going to be out week-to-week.

How Frederic's Injury Will Change Things For The Bruins At The Deadline

Following the update, NHL insider Chris Johnston revealed how this is could change things for the Boston Bruins come the NHL trade deadline.

Johnston revealed that even though Frederic may miss some time, this will not change how the Bruins go into the trade deadline, and he could still be moved if the organization plans on doing it.

Frederic is definitely going to be someone to keep an eye on for the Boston Bruins as the trade deadline quickly approaches.
