This past season McAvoy lit the lamp three times and added 22 helpers in 37 games manning the blue line for Boston University. The freshman's 22 assists were the second most among all Terriers this season and he was named to the Eastern Conference's All-Rookie team. McAvoy also played for Team USA at the World Junior Championship but did not record a point during the team's seven games on their way to bronze in Finland.
Nothing jumps off of the page for McAvoy, sure his point total at Boston is nothing to scoff at by any means, but nothing says "hey, this guy is NHL ready.
