Player Discussion Charlie McAvoy V signs 3 year $4.9m extension

[ODAAT]

He's still RFA after this contract, don't think of it as 3 years, think of it as 11

exactly and that, almost more than the $$$ DS signed him to might be the most important aspect of the deal

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Wearing a dunce cap too.

How did they get McAvoy to agree to this???

They threatened to release pictures of him as a boy sleeping in Rangers bedsheets.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

I wanted him to sign longer but this is a great deal and the money for Carlo is there now.

[TwineTickler]

FANTASTIC CONTRACT! FANTASTIC JOB BY OUR GM OF THE YEAR.

Perfect for both sides.

 

[ODAAT]

wish Z was a better leader

 

[Ladyfan]

I like this deal. Now sign Carlo please

 

[GloveSave1]

Never any doubt. It’s what DS does time and time again. We throw around numbers here that he soundly undercuts every time. Then we do it again...

I am a tad concerned about Carlo, because defense doesn’t easily translate to cash and DS might try to use that while Carlo knows his worth and can’t allow that standard moving forward in a long career.

DS would be wise to not go too far.

I'm guessing they may try a 2 year bridge now. Leave 2 years RFA left just like Mac did. 2 years 6 mil? Then he gets his big deal too?

 

[Trap Jesus]

The top pair with a lower cap hit than players like Spurgeon and Ekblad.

7.3 in the last year would make his qualifying offer what?

I’d love a long term deal at short money. Like 6 years at 4.5 million or something.

Is it legal to make this year 3.5 or does the league not allow that?

His qualifying will be 7.3... I believe

I don't believe they allow that. I want Carlo long term as well, but considering what Mac did, and what's left for space... i think another bridge may be coming.... and if you pay Mac 4.9 on a short term. No way Carlo can be much more than 3.2 per

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

hell yes

 

[Dellstrom]

Awesome news and a fantastic deal. Phenomenal job per usual by Sweeney and good on Charlie for showing his commitment to the team and taking something team friendly... Given his position he could have demanded MUCH more and made a mess (not that I or likely anyone was expecting that). He'll get paid in 3 years and if he reaches his potential I'll be happy to pay it.

 

[chizzler]

Good thing some here aren’t running the show. He’d be getting 7.5-8 mil. Lol!!!

It was either long term deal where they probably pay more up front than he's worth at this point, or bridge deal where he makes decent money but can cash in huge in 3 years if he continues to develop. I like it when players bet on themselves like this. Shows a lot of confidence.

 

[PacificNWBruin]

Great deal for both sides. McAvoy is gonna cash in after the deal.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Excellent job by Sweeney here, if McAvoy continues to progress as he has, he will get paid big time in 3 years.
