As predicted by Bob McKenzie, Charlie McAvoy has indeed inked a new contract with Boston. The contract is a bridge deal, 3 years at $4.9 million AAV.
McAvoy, like Brock Boeser, is 10.2(c) RFA, which according to the current CBA, is a player who hasn't played enough games to be considered a full-fledged RFA. This undoubtedly weakened his bargaining position, but in the end he got a Werenski-like contract and will look to cash in three years from now.
It is unknown at this moment how quickly McAvoy will report to training camp.
