It seems like nothing new can now happen on the restricted free-agent defenseman front. Is that good news for the Boston Bruins? There is only one big free-agent defenseman left on the market besides Charlie McAvoy, and that is Brandon Carlo.
Yesterday, Ivan Provorov, another big-time defenseman from the Philadelphia Flyers, signed a six-year contract extension worth $6.75 million per season. Is that good or not good for the Boston Bruins and their attempts to get the Charlie McAvoy contract done?
Well, Provorov is a reliable defenseman for the Flyers, for sure.
