Player Discussion Charlie McAvoy VI re-signed, 8 yrs @ 9.5 aav

[KnightofBoston]

Amazing


Sweeney and co have work to do on drafting and pro scouting, but his ability to sign guys to good contracts is stellar

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Great news to lock up one of the very best defenseman in the NHL. If he stays on the number 1 PP unit he has a serious chance to win the Norris.

 

[rocketdan9]

good news

Now lock up Pasta next to the same deal

just do it now

 

[JOKER 192]

To much

 

[BruinsBtn]

Drew Doughty won his Norris in 2015-2016.

Derek Forbort played 14 games for the Kings that year as a rookie.

Drew Doughty DID have his worst season ever playing alongside Derek Forbort in 2018-2019. Maybe you were thinking of that?

Ok I take it back.

He was only nominated twice while playing full time with Forbort in 2015-16 and 2017-18. Guess it sucks for you that he was only a top-3 defenseman in the league playing with Forbort rather than #1.

 

[Mione134]

Had to do it! He is the staple of our defense. He loves being here. He is immersed in all things Boston.


Glad the deal is done.

To much

Why ?

 

[Number6]

Good call Dan

I always felt DKH was Don Sweeney's burner account

More seriously, good call, Dan!

 

[JOKER 192]

Why ?

1 M to much , will be the beginning of the end of competitive Bruins teams.

"...playing full time with Forbort in 2015-16..."

I just showed why this is factually wrong.

It’s crazy I proposed 4/20 to sign Ullmark
going into FA

If Donny trades for Hertl then we got something

 

[The National]

Well done Mac, anything under 10 is fine with me. Kids a stud not too concerned with half a million here or there.

 

[Over the volcano]

1 M to much , will be the beginning of the end of competitive Bruins teams.

Letting McAvoy walk over 1 mil sounds like a quicker way to end a competitive Bruins team

 

[Richard Lather]

Well apparently this signing is, let me check my notes, the beginning of the end of the competitive Bruins.

 

[UncleRico]

1 M to much , will be the beginning of the end of competitive Bruins teams.

It’s pretty much the beginning of the end already, krejci gone, bergy gone soon, marchand getting older. There will be a rebuild here in short order regardless of McAvoys contract. At least now in 3-4 years hopefully when the team is coming out of the rebuild, McAvoys contract will look cheap compared to what other defensemen are getting.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Remember when he was leaving the Bruins to join Quinn and the Rangers?

 

[EverettMike]

1 M to much , will be the beginning of the end of competitive Bruins teams.

Is this a joke? I don't know, and your username doesn't make it any easier to figure out.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

To much

Not in the slightest.

 

[rocketdan9]

Why ?

The goal totals could be better. He has to shoot more in general

But looking back at the playoffs....vs teams like Leafs, CBJ, Canes, Blues..

McAvoy was a machine

He looked better than Werenski, Reilly. Just a tad below Jones and Pietrangelo

If Don and Cam wanted to save some money. They should have tried to lock him up to 8m-8.5m (earlybird) before the big dollars were thrown around by other teams to secure their Ds

 

[Bruinaura]

Somewhere, I just know Big Zee is smiling.
