McAvoy should be fine and Boston will probably be looking to lock him up long-term. They are looking at about $45 million in cap space with the following big names either hitting UFA that year or the previous year:
Krug
Krejci
Chara
Bergeron
Rask
^ of these guys, Rask and Bergeron IMO are the only two locks to remain on the team (re-sign). Chara two years from now probably retires, Krejci may be back but a lot depends on Coyle/Studnicka and I could see Krug leaving Boston if someone like DET steps up with more term/money and potentially for him to wear the "C" for the Wings.
