The Boston Bruins and their defenseman Charlie McAvoy will try to reach a contractual agreement this week.
According to information obtained from the website bostonhockeynow.com, the leaders of the Massachusetts team and the 21-year-old skater's clan decided to take a break from their negotiations for the long weekend of Labor Day.
However, they agreed to come back to dinner on Tuesday. The goal is to reach an agreement before the start of the training camp, which will begin with the team's golf tournament on Monday, September 9th.
In 2018-2019, McAvoy completed the final year of his entry into the National Hockey League and became a free agent with compensation.
In 117 games in the Bettman circuit, he has 14 goals and 46 assists for 60 points. The New York native played only two regular seasons with the "Bears" as he began his professional career in the playoffs of the 2016-17 campaign.
Also according to bostonhockeynow.com, McAvoy would be looking for a deal similar to that of Aaron Ekblad, of the Florida Panthers, an eight-year, $ 60 million deal. This could complicate the task of the Bruins, who currently have a little over $ 7 million available on their payroll, according to capfriendly.com.
With this sum, General Manager Don Sweeney has to sign a contract to McAvoy and back Brandon Carlo, also a free agent with compensation. A situation that could force the boss of the Boston training to offer only a transitional contract to the first choice (14th overall) of his team in the 2016 draft.
