The rumblings of “we’re getting there” earlier in the week have turned into actual news: the Bruins have signed defenseman Charlie McAvoy to a contract extension!
McAvoy breakdown:
Salary/signing bonus
22-23: 6M/3.25M
23-24: 7.75M/3.25M
24-25: 8.5M/3M
25-26: 8.5M/3M
26-27: 6M/4M
27-28: 3.75M/4M
28-29: 4.5M/3M
29-30: 4.5M/3M— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) October 15, 2021For those who don’t want to do the math, that comes out to $76 million over the life of the contract — I’m pretty sure this is the single largest contract in Bruins history.
It’s hard to say that it isn’t deserved for McAvoy, who’s among the players most crucial to the Bruins success.
