With Danton Heinen agreeing to a new two-year deal with the Boston Bruins with a cap hit of $2.8 million per season, there’s limited money left over for the remaining two restricted free agents, Brandon Carlo and Charlie McAvoy.
You have to start wondering; does it make sense from the Boston Bruins’ perspective, and indeed the players’ perspectives to sign bridge deals and seek a bigger payday in a couple of years’ time.
The Danton Heinen deal certainly suggests that the Boston Bruins would be willing to work with shortened contract terms to ensure they secure Carlo and McAvoy for the next couple of seasons.
