Player Discussion Charlie McAvoy - part III.

[BruinDust]

Sweeney needs to sign him on July 1st to a 8y extension. Don't wait the extra year. Will only cost you more.

Wonder what it would take... 52M/8y is my guess

With Doughty and Karlsson about to raise the bar for all D-men in the summer of 2019, if I'm his agent I'm not touching that offer.

But I was off on the Pastrnak and Marchand extensions by roughly 1-1.5 million per, so who knows.

I mean, that offer is essentially the same as the 1st extensions signed by Karlsson and Doughty, but those were signed in the summer of 2012 and 2011 respectively. With the cap speculated to rise maybe even as much as 5 millon this summer, 6.5 per seems below-market value for a young D-man of his caliber.

Someone needs to make a highlight video of McAvoy handling the puck set to Queen/Bowie's "Under Pressure".

Read today he has Dr Appointment and not at practice and could be a scratch tomorrow .Never said what it was about so let me take first stab..My guess is wisdom teeth

I wouldn't bet against that. It's certainly something you can schedule in advance and could be fine almost immediately afterward or could result in an inability to function at a high level/play hockey for a day or so. Everyone responds differently.

I was also thinking gall bladder removal, but usually you'd need a week or two to recover from that and they'd most certainly rule him out instead of questionable for tomorrow if that was the case.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

just hoping it's not some nagging injury that they were hoping would heal itself but hasn't, or something more serious like blood clots.

My 2 cents as a medical professional

Not a big deal, just no strenuous stuff for a little bit, kid will be fine in the long run

 

[caz16]

That is very scary....I hope he will fully recover. Poor kid must be scared.

Abnormal heart rhythm

Bruins Issue Update On Charlie McAvoy

An ablation is not routine. I have had two of them for AFIB. Which is when your heart skips irregularly. The ablation for me was they burnt dead heart tissue which was causing the blood through my heart to beat irregular. Once the dead tissue healed my heart skipped normally. I am 2 1/2 times older then Charlie, so his heart is far less damaged...But he might have went into AFIB. The ablation is when they go up your groin and fix whatever is wrong that makes the heart skip irregular. He is lucky they detected it. Not detecting can cause stroke.

 

[PlayoffBeard365]

Lord, please let baby Jesus be okay and repair all that may be and ever could be wrong with him. Make him perfect in Orr's image. Amen!

He went into SVT which is different than A-Fib.

I would have to think that given the fact this was identified back in Nov., and he's continued to play since, this isn't serious.

But good to hear this from someone who works in the medical profession.

 

[busman21]

If I recall correctly, Rich Peverley was going to wait to get an ablation until after the season a few years ago and it turned out, as we all know, kind of terrifying when he collapsed in that game. Better for Chucky to get this taken care of electively and non-urgently.

The question here is which type of supraventricular tachycardia Chucky had and without knowing it;s hard to speculate as to what it means. Based on the article I think he will be ok

 

[busman21]

He went into SVT which is different than A-Fib.

Actually, Afib is one of the 4 main types of SVT along with WPW, paroxysmal SVT, and atrial flutter. It can get confusing though and SVT is really a big catch all term and is sort of nonspecific and likely used on purpose by the B's to not arise any speculation based on which it actually was

This is not good, despite the fact that it can be fixed anything cardiac related is very serious. And he's very young.

Well that kinda settles the McQuaid/Carlo/Miller who sits question for a lil bit now doesn't it?

 

[Danton Heineken]

Thankfully, he's in the care of the best medical professionals in the world. Kid will be fine.

 

[BruinsFan1990]

Glad he is going to be okay. That's scary stuff...

 

[Mainehockey33]

How do they catch something like this, did he notice his heart fluttering?

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Ah that's right. SVT = supraventricular (above the ventricles). Atrial Flutter/Fib both originate from there.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Just saw this update on NHL, hope he’s going to be OK, makes the case for holding on to extra D-men. Get well Chuckie, we need you for the playoffs

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

We'll miss ya Charlie.

Every cloud has a silver lining though - it's a great chance to recharge his batteries for the business end of the season.
