Player Discussion Charlie Mcavoy V

Well with Chuck and Hampus most likely going to LTIR, go get something expensive w/term or you're willing to resign, using the cap room this year and with next few years big increases.
I'd see if we can get something for Korpi and bring DiPietro up.
We know all the other suspects to move out and bring up the youth movement now.

To move Korpi, you’re going to need to retain probably 50% or retain 0% but send probably this year’s first with him. He has a negative value contract, so you need to balance the negative value if you are looking to move it.

Retain 1M, no pick to a team desperate enough(2M/year for a seasoned backup is not outrageous). He plays well on good teams. I disagree.
That why I said "see if you can" Boy, reading retention in the world is going down!:sarcasm:

Might as well see “see if you can” get 5 first rounders for him then.

Dumb immature take, big surprise. Plenty of teams would take him in a multiplayer deal that have marginal goaltending depth. If we take back similar contract on someone that might fit in here. Also
taking on a contract of a big $$ contract without having them keep money. There are many way to accomplish it.
I certainly remember your rants when we took him back in the Linus trade. He outplayed your take.
When our D wasn't decimated he held his own until Jeremy moneybags got his head out of his a$$.(Jeremy's still sniffing it if you ask me)

McAvoy was darn good in the four nations
Sure they will be supportive of him taking his time back.
 

ANAHEIM, Calif. — It’s been a tough — and often heartbreaking — month-plus for Charlie McAvoy.

Shortly after the Bruins defenseman experienced “the most fun I’ve ever had in hockey,” representing Team USA at the 4 Nations Face-Off, he suffered a shoulder injury and subsequent infection that have kept him off the ice since Feb. 15.

While rehabbing the shoulder, McAvoy then watched some of his closest friends traded away in a deadline day frenzy.
McAvoy returned to Bruins practice Tuesday at the Honda Center in a red noncontact jersey. He will not play on this trip and interim coach Joe Sacco said there is still no timetable for McAvoy’s return to game action.

“Yeah, it wasn’t good. It was bad. It was when I got home that things sort of hit the fan on Monday, and that landed me in the hospital and things moved pretty fast after that,” McAvoy said following Tuesday’s skate. “And the infection was moving pretty fast after that, and it got very serious, very quick. And [it’s] another thing that I’m just trying to leave in the past, really. It was scary. It was scary for me. It was scary on my family mostly, and I could not be more grateful for all the people at MGH . . . Those people, they’re the heroes of this story.”

Following his admission to the hospital, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported the Bruins were “extremely unhappy” with McAvoy’s initial treatment in Montreal.

Asked about the report, McAvoy said he hadn’t given it much thought.

“I know what I went through, and I know how I feel about it, but I’m not really sure how other people felt, to be honest,” he said. “So . . . I’ll just leave that there. It’s been a lot. It’s been tough.”

McAvoy was crushed to not be able to play in the championship game against Canada at TD Garden. Yet the experience, including being an alternate captain, left a huge impression.

Just hours after leaving MGH, McAvoy got a call from Team USA coach Mike Sullivan, who is also his father-in-law, asking if he wanted to read the starting lineup for the game.

“I had a lot going on mentally, emotionally, physically, and I wanted to do it. And then, I honestly couldn’t even tell you what happened,” said McAvoy, who delivered the lineup with his arm in a sling.

McAvoy was dealt some more blows when longtime teammates and friends Brad Marchand, Brandon Carlo, Charlie Coyle, and Trent Frederic were traded.

“It was really hard. There’s another aspect to this game that has nothing to do with on the ice, and that’s the friendships of it and the relationships and the reality of, I’ve been here a while now, and I’ve seen a lot of my friends no longer here,” he said. “And I understand that there’s a business part of it, I do. I get it, but it doesn’t make it easier to see a lot of your best buddies now being in other spots.”

Moving ahead is the focus as McAvoy and fellow alternate captain David Pastrnak try to formulate a plan to lead a new group.

“It’s probably our most important objective is how we’re going to get it back and what we’re going to do and how are we going to leave it better than the way that we found it? And we’ve certainly got some work to do on that front.”
