[veganbruin]

Great deal for both sides.

 

[Curls13]

Great news... Fair value.

 

[13Hockey]

We love u Charlie!!

 

[The National]

Fair to say no matter the number people would have some reason to be upset about it lol.

Can’t wait to see what he has in store for us for the next 8 years.

Money Mac.

 

[yazmybaby]

f*** YES

now that’s some good mf news. Can commit to getting the jersey now

Awesome deal, this really solidifies the team for years to come and is a calling card for potential FA's we want to sign down the road.
In 4-5 years time this contract will seem like a HUGE discount.
Great job DS.

 

[cheg1349]

Curious question, if a player's contract has a signing bonus every year, do they get it on the same day each year? Is it just the first day business day of the league calendar or can they negotiate what day it is?

 

[The National]

@Sheppy can buy that jersey now.

 

[HumBucker]

Yay!

 

[nORRis8]

Bueno!!!
Very fair value for one of the best dmen out there right now.
Got to sign him before he wins a Norris (and he will)..that was the key!

 

[eightspokedb]

Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Absolutely fantastic. No discount here, nor should it be required/expected. Simply an additional bonus when it occurs.

Well deserved win-win for player, team, and fans.

 

[CDJ]

Will be a steal in 4 years

 

[kjpm]

Man it feels great to have him locked up long term. Wish we could just drop the puck already!

 

[Gordoff]

Surprising news this morning. Happy to hear that he's going to remain a Bruin for so long.
A win/win!

 

[13Hockey]

Will be a steal in 4 years

it will be a steal next season

when he enters the year the reigning Norris winner and the 5th highest paid D in the league

 

[EverettMike]

Will be a steal in 4 years

4 months

 

[McGarnagle]

Will be a steal in 4 years

We should be locking everybody up into long term deals now.

With the fed money printer going BRRRRRR the inflation we're going to get in the next 8 years will make McAvoy's contract the equivalent of a couple frappes at Friendly's in 2029.

 

[bbfan419]

McAvoy is now the highest paid player on the team, that is a fair deal for both sides. Glad he came in under $10M, some here were thinking he might get $11m+ . That is #1D type money and he is a #1 D, so I have no problem with that contract at all and he is locked up long term for the prime years of his career most likely.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Orr, Park, Bourque, Chara and now Mcavoy you are a blessed bunch congratulations on another stud.
