Matt Porter of the Boston Globe: Defenseman Charlie McAvoy will likely be the next Boston Bruins player to sign a big contract extension. How much he’ll get paid and for how long is yet to be determined.
Late last month McAvoy wouldn’t comment about his contract situation. He is entering the final year of his deal with a $4.9 million salary cap hit, but a $7.3 million salary.
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski‘s six-year, $57.5 million deal is a comparable.
McAvoy is eligible to sign an extension at any point now.
