Pay Charlie, of course.....
He's the next Captain and cornerstone Dman of this franchise.
Find a middle ground 8/76. The Bruins can get by at center without Eichel. I don't think the same can be said if they moved McAvoy.Next summer Charlie wants 8/84 mil bruins want 8/68 mil. What do you do?

McAvoy is not a $10 million player. If he wants that money, I’d trade his ass.Next summer Charlie wants 8/84 mil bruins want 8/68 mil. What do you do?
Sweeney is weak/mediocre in multiple areas, but negotiating contract extensions with current players is not one of them. I trust him on that. I'd go after Barkov next year. We have a mediocre prospect pool and we aren't a lottery team, so we have nothing of value that we would realistically give up to get Eichel. It would be extremely easy for other teams to beat our realistic package. Barkov, on the other hand, is a much more realistic target and will only cost money. I just hope Sweeney doesn't screw it up and give Krejci a multi-year extension. Either he takes a 1 year deal (to get to Barkov's UFA year) or you find a 1-year stop gap as the 2nd line Center for next season.Next summer Charlie wants 8/84 mil bruins want 8/68 mil.

whether you and I think he`s a 10 mill guy means little, he`s worth essentially what anyone will pay him, still rather have him at 10 than the 11.5 mill through the 26-27 season the Sharkies paying KarlssonMcAvoy is not a $10 million player. If he wants that money, I’d trade his ass.
A guy can be a #1 for a franchise, but that doesn’t make him a franchise defenseman. It just makes him the best they have at the time.
That isn’t to say McAvoy isn’t special, or a huge part of this team. I don’t see him winning multiple Norris trophies. I think this franchise is used to having a legend on the blue line, and when we don’t have one, people start trying to make the guy we have into a legend.

Did we start discussing old friend Brett Connolly in here yet?

Would 10 mill for Charlie be as much as an overpayment than what the B`s are currently paying JDB?
He'll be a useful addition to somebody's roster once he clears waivers.Did we start discussing old friend Brett Connolly in here yet?
Not with that term left on his deal we haven't.

the biggest selling point for me is we have a 23 year old D man logging 20-25 mins on the top pairingJust for fun, If they paid Charlie 10m, he makes about $122k per game in an 82 season (sorry my mind can't even really get around that one). Jake right now makes about $45,000 per game (still doesn't really compute well). Now extrapolate the points- Jake is on a 23 point pace this season for a full 82. The Bruins are paying Jake 160k per point. Charlie is on a 65 point pace. At 10m per season it is 154k per point. It is still better value considering the minutes played and the non-scoring stuff that gets done.
