Go home BF, you're drunk.
Rumor: McAvoy and Bruins talking contract extension?

He's not as proven or as good yet as Ekblad so as others have mentioned, 8 years at 6.5 - 6.9/ mil year sounds reasonable.

I like the guy and all. But has he earned an 8 year contract? Sure you go less years now you might pay for it down the road but man.
Wouldn’t you like to see at least half of this year to see where the trend is? He’s not exactly lighting the league on fire right now.

So he's played 88 career NHL games at 19 and 20 years old (playoffs and regular season). He's averaged just a shade under 23 minutes/game. He has 9 goals and 46 points in those 88 games (+21).
I don't see the hesitation. Could you imagine if they had bridged Pastrnak and he were coming up again this summer?

Pretty simple to me. 6 years 40Mill. Same contract we gave our young star forward Pasta. Get it done.

Not sure that will have any bearing on his deal. A struggling McAvoy is still a great player

Plays minutes but i have not saw dominance that earns you 7 million for 8 years like some here suggest.

If he shows development this season I have no problems with 8yx 7.xM for him.
3 years earlier the top young D-men in the league were signing for 5-5.5Mx6 years, Lindholm, Jones, Ristolainen, Rielly. Cap raise+ extra term makes it go with them.
I rather spent the money on guys like him than average UFA players.
6.5M seems too low for the comparisons mentioned above.
If you want a quality top3 in his prime you'll easily have to pay 7M in few seasons, 7M isn't a superstar money anymore.
7M is fair or a steal for McAvoy.

Ya I don’t want to trade the guy. That’s nuts. Maybe just relax a bit on giving him the lifetime achievement award contract before he’s hit 100 games in the big leagues.
Pastrnak signed 6 years no? 6 x $40 million is plenty of term and money for what he’s done. Can still cash in at the end of it too.
If they lay off signing deadwood for 6+ million per year going forward they’ll have lots of money to play with to resign.
Agreed- a deal that is not a bridge, but 6x6 would fair for him. He's a good player, but we'd also be paying for potential that he will probably reach. That would put him at what 29 or 30 at the end, and yeah, if he turns out like we think he is into Karlsson/Doughty money at that point.
The longer the contract they sign him for the happier I'll be. I'd be fine with the Ekblad contract because I think that it would be a bargain a few years into it, and an absolute steal at the end of it.

That's pretty normal with high end kids.
They can't forever be just giving up 6M contracts.

Well wasn't thinkin' that ,honestly! Just that as in the Nylander situation,you can't 'cheap out' on Charlie! So gotta be over 6mil ,yes?
I mean ,you can't hype him up like he is the 2nd coming of Ray and then say he isn't worth locking up long term for serious money!

Ya that’s true too. Still think it’s fair for both the player and the team in that 6 x 40 range.
What will really goof it up is if some clown gives Gardner 8 million before they can sign McAvoy lol.

That's a great call!
Think of what we could do with those draft picks! And the cap space!

Yeah...I kinda doubt that would be the same value.Also,the player has to agree to the deal the offering team is making.

I'd like to see him on a 8 year contract if it doesn't mean something crazy, like Drai 2.0.
If Jones signed 5.4Mx6 3 years earlier then that estimate makes sense on a 6 year deal.
Anything like a 8yx7M, like I said you'll have to pay that for a top3 in his prime easily in the following years and we could enjoy watching McAvoy for the nexy 8 years knowing he's locked up.
7M is either fair value or a steal.
Superstar's get 10M today already, we need to remember that.
