Per TSN's Hockey Insider, Pierre LeBrun, talks between the Bruins and RFA Charlie McAvoy have been heating up. "There's been progress there. Werenski's deal has helped move things along. Still work to be done but it's at least moving."
The 21-year-old has been a major player for the Boston Bruins, suiting up for 117 contests and putting up 60 points while eating huge minutes on the B's blueline.
Between the Werenski signing earlier this week in Columbus and the Winnipeg Jets locking up Josh Morrissey on an 8-year extension worth $50 Million Thursday morning, the Bruins have a pretty good benchmark for their future number one defenseman on either a short-term or a long-term deal.
