When the offense inevitably kicks in, McAvoy is at worst a top 5 defenseman in this league. And it buys most of his prime years.


i personally still do believe that 9.5 is a lot. maybe not by much, but quite a bit considering either lowballs or highballs for defensive contracts this season.
maybe they could've gone 8.5-9 but oh well its the bruins why are we complaining

bruins needed the player. cap will be over 100m by the time the contract runs out anyways.

Hes trying to make himself look good for the TDL lul


If they somehow got rid of him at the TDL, Buffalo fans (i think) would rejoice

To be fair, if they were to make a deal with someone to make it so that his cap hit for the team that would get him to be 2M, I think he could be a good 4th liner for a lot of teams. Just my take tho

Fun fact: There are 4 teams where their #1 and #2 goalies have both won at least 1 game in the conference finals or Cup finals. Those 4 teams are:

DAL (Khudobin, Holtby, Bishop)
MTL (Price, Allen)
TBL (Vasilevskiy, Elliott)
BUF (Anderson, Tokarski)

So what happened to Bruins and "taking discounts to win" huh Marchand lul

Pulock got 6.15 mill x 8 years and Mcavoy is marginally better so how did that translate to 9.5mill lul.

McAvoy is better than Pulock and there was no way McAvoy was getting less than 8, Pulock on the other hand wasn't going to get more than 7

True but Bruins always managed to squeeze their players for every penny. So was honestly expecting a 7-8mill deal for 8yrs. As Marchand was always going "you want to play in Boston take less or leave". Guess McAvoy didnt get the memo saw what Jones got and said gimmie and not wanting a headache negotiation Sweeney went fine here.

Either way its pretty funny

Mcavoy is a top 3 defenseman in the league and the best D at 5v5. He could’ve signed for 11.5 mill and he’d be worth it
