Having seen an offer sheet already this post-season, you’d have to imagine there’s slightly less fear about using such an approach. The Boston Bruins have their work cut out, given Danton Heinen is headed to arbitration, Charlie McAvoy has yet to agree a new deal and Brandon Carlo also lacks a new deal.
It’s this which could put Brandon Carlo in the sights of many teams seeking a steady, young defensive presence on their blue line.
Given the contracts that’ll be shared among the trio of restricted free agents, you’d have to imagine it wouldn’t take a big money deal to make it challenging for the Boston Bruins to meet an offer.
