Rumor: McAvoy and Bruins talking contract extension?
- Thread starter ranold26
- Start date
He won’t get 7.5. I’m fine with 8 years as the term.

Eight years won't be cheap. I don't see them trying to pull something like 8 x 5.5.

I still think McAvoy will be a good one, but he hasn't played great hockey since last season before his injury and heart complications. No way would I bring out the big bucks for 8 years at this point. He still has a lot to prove.

I'll be honest... I'm as big of a McAvoy fan as there is and I still feel pretty iffy about this.
Eight years is a gamble.

Every contract is a gamble, but if you are going to roll the dice, it's better to do so on a young player producing now. I sign him and don't think about it again for 8 years.

Is he producing now though? Feels like he has taken a couple of steps back after exploding onto the scene 2 playoffs ago.

If Sweeney has shown one thing, its the ability to get a good deal on an RFA, so I think we will be pleased with this contract.

I would give him a 15y deal if it was allowed.

I have zero hesitations about giving McAvoy 8 years. There’s nothing strange about struggles this young in his development.
These contracts have been Sweeney’s biggest strength IMO. I’d be surprised if we weren’t happy with the result.

I don't believe he's allowed to get a NTC/NMC yet. He's too young
Yeah, but when he has earned that, you'll have to sign him for 10-11m over 8 years compared to 6-7 now. That's the risk of signing someone for 8 years. He'll be 30 when his next contract ends (if it's 8 years). For a guy like McAvoy, I'm almost certain he'll be AT LEAST a value player at 6-7 million. Might be slight overpayment for the first year or two but it'll be worth it. I'm absolutely, 100% comfortable taking the risk with him, just like I was with Pasta.
They might use Pasta's deal as a basis. 6-6.75 a year for 6-8 years?

I’m on a relieved kick
One I’m relieved knowing McAvoy hasn’t felt well which explains his lukewarm performance
Two I’ll be relieved when whatever is causing this effect is no longer
I love him like the family dog and 8 years term under $7 is a win (6.7 works)

Count down ...
No kidding, then we will have to listen to "but his D partner is the problem get him someone to play with" for the next 8 years

One of the worst actions proposed on these boards.

That would be the dumbest move this franchise would make
But since there are dummies every where you look I’m sure you will get some who say yes
