Charlie McAvoy has agreed to terms with BOS. Three-year deal, $4.9M AAV. Very similar to Zach Werenski’s three-year, $5M AAV deal with CBJ. McAvoy could make up the $300K difference because his Year 3 salary, and Qualifying Offer base, is $7.3M, $300K more than Werenski’s.

So it’s not a long-term deal as Charlie McAvoy intended to sign, but it keeps him in Boston past a potential lockout, and once we see how that shapes the salary cap come the future, then his contract can and should be re-evaluated.
In any case, a MAJOR member of the Bruins defense corps is officially back!
How do you feel about the deal?
